Karate 64

Today’s class was easy which is just great since I couldn’t kick my way out of a paper bag anyways. I am still too sore from yesterday’s half marathon. I’m as tired as can be, I am one tired puppy…yah, it rhymes! I did not try very hard today.

Need…rest…might…not…survive…

So all we did was Ko Tai Ran and some kata that I have not practiced enough. I just have not done enough to remember them all. Do kata number 9, I’m told. I have to count linear from kata 1 in my head so’s I know what it is. I need to practice them more so I can access them random. Random Access Memory is what I need.

I will be grading in December. Lots of time. I know my major mistakes and I just need more practice. The worst is my cat stance. My shutos are the worst too. The other worsts are everything else. Must do more. There is a tournament November 8th in Devon. I need to get out of my comfort zone and enter the tournament for some kata. I really should enter the sparring events too even though I am really pathetic at it. Comfort zones. Get out of them. I really don’t want to enter a stupid tournament, but I have to force myself to get out of my comfort zone.

I don’t want to enter. But I will anyway. Just so’s I don’t end up living in a cave all my life. All isolated-like. Secure and comfy on my couch. No risk. Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt.

Sigh.
