Karate 62
by Administrator ~ August 29th, 2008. Filed under: Everyday Stuff.When doing my kata the pop is very loud - loud enough for others to notice. Anyway, yesterday’s lesson was very interesting and useful for me. I managed to clue into some of the flow of the kata, and also I was able to correct some of my poor technique. As to sparring, I managed to improve there as well in that I tried to avoid leaning into it and other things. I’m still far from perfect though. Very far, to be sure.
But it’s not like I haven’t been told a hundred times how to do something. It’s like there was a *ping* in my brain that allowed me to suddenly put it into practice. I’ve always known that someday there would be a brain *ping* and I’m happy that it happened yesterday. There will be more. Continuing my recovery from the August 17th marathon, today I plan on doing an easy 11 km run. I have not been entirely successful in finding information as to how long it takes bones to heal from impact shock, and to rebuild even stronger, but I’m thinking it is on the order of 3 to 6 weeks.
I feel pretty good about things right now. The only downer is that there are no more Devon lessons until end of September.
