TKD

Kick ass TKD work out today.

All the usual warmup, hundred or two situps, JJacks, deep squats, pushups.

Worked on forms for 1/2 the night and then spent some time on combos.

Finally we finished up with several rounds of full contact sparring.

I gave some and got some. I'm wiped.
The guys commented that I have A LOT of power and I will be a real threat when I get my form/technique dialed in.

I need to work on some VO2MAX conditioning so I can survive several minutes of fighting.

I also made a real effort to keep my mouth closed, so as to not present an easy loose jaw knock out.

Came home and ate 2 1/2 burgers, a bowl of zucchini and some terrific brown rice my wife made.

Life is great!

TKD, GU, and thoughts on which cert next....

First TKD work out in at least 2 weeks. And I feel it!

We did a lot of cool combo's. Punch, rev punch, backhand. Repeat.

Also worked on my one-steps, which I patently suck at. I dont know why I have such a hard time learning them. More practice.

got home and did 5 mins of Getups, which is part of the program minimum.

I will not do that again. My knee way tweaky from some RKC Hip flexor stretched on hardwood. Ouch!

I was weighing the decision on whether I should get my Z-Health R-phase first, or my RKC first.
I was definitely leaning towards Z, but in this post I heard from a lot of high powered folks who have both RKC and R,I,S,T Z-certs.

Needless to say I am going RKC baby!
