I'm pretty much stuck at the same level right now

I've been working on Takeoko Kai Shii for weeks, but the thrust kicks are still kickin' my butt.

It doesn't help that we had a three week hiatus due to construction at the YMCA, either. That was the last two weeks of August & the first week of September.

There really hasn't been much new to report other than we practiced katas and sparred. A few new students, which is to be expected.

Sensei's teacher is coming to visit on December 6th as we have our highest ranked student being hopefully promoted to black belt that day.

I will try to get here more regularly after classes while I'm fresh, but I don't want to get too monotonous, either.

One new thing I just learned Tuesday, however, was the reverse crescent kick. Not too easy to do.

Sensei also had us practice a rear-leg roundhouse kick followed immediately by a side kick. That is one very tough combo to execute.

Sayonara,

Dan
