Right back at it

September 8th, 2009

I was off of training for a few days.  In fact, I didn’t work out Thursday all the way through Monday, which means I had five days off.  It felt pretty good.

But then, it felt good to get back to it today as well.  I did the P90x Plyometric workout, which always leaves me gasping for breath.  Then I taught a decently-sized beginner class of 8 students.  I ran them through an aerobic workout, then on to a poomse section.  My thought in recent weeks is to do at least 10 minutes of forms each class as a group.  However, I think I need to spend more individual time with the students.  I’m seeing some small individual errors that are hard to correct in a group setting.  Maybe next week I’ll break down into individual forms work.

After class I worked on my two bong (staff) forms, as well as Pyong Won, the 4th black belt TKD form.  Just a quick 10 minutes worth of work, but I am a little rusty on those.  Well, in truth, I’m still working on learning Pyong Won.

On another note, I finally finishing reading Warrior Mind, the martial arts book written by one of the senior students of my instructor’s instructor.  It is an interesting book, and I’m promising a full review of it shortly.
