The week in review
Wow, it has been a while since my last post. This one is more or less to let you know that I’m still around and still training.
This past weekend was one of food indulgence. So now I have some weight to lose. I’m going back on my 6-day diet, and I just finished my grocery shopping for that.
Training has been on a bit of a hiatus; between family obligations and a long weekend, I only trained Monday and Tuesday of last week. Last night was a back-to-basics class, which was good. Tonight I’ll be running a similar type of class for the beginners. We’ll be running a promotion exam in 10 days, so we’ll be making sure everyone is up-to-date on their requirements.
The dojang roles have now been more clearly defined. My late instructor’s most senior TKD student (5th dan) is officially in charge of the TKD program. He ran that basics class last night during the black belt class last night, and he’s the final word on how we do things in that art. Our 7th dan Hapkido instructor is officially leading the Hapkido program, no surprise. And one of our other master instructors is in charge of the Kali program.
Our schedule will be changing slightly in three weeks. The changes are mostly to push the kids classes a little later in the day. 4:30 was a struggle for parents and instructors. Well, instructors who aren’t me, anyway, since I don’t help out with those classes. I’ll still be leading the Tuesday beginner adult class as well as the Wednesday intermediate class. A kali class will be replacing the Monday night Hapkido class, which had fallen off the map anyway as it immediately followed a high energy black belt TKD class. People just ran out of gas and weren’t staying for that Hapkido class.
Now I’m off to do a cardio workout prior to teaching my class tonight.
