May 23rd / 24th

Just back from a morning session, if haven't noticed already I love the early morning starts. Three rounds of skipping to warm up, four rounds of sparring topped off by Sam Il, Yoo Sin and Choi Yong. Some stretching followed that and then some core work. Plenty of planks!

Yesterdays Sunday session also followed a similar trend. I brought the 1st kups through their syllabus material and then I did some tul work myself along with Jim Faulkner.

Tonight it will be more of the same, a two hour class followed by more stretching.

The theory work is going well. Just finished the section on the theory of power and sine wave motion. The next section I'm aiming for will be the cycle of Taekwon-Do. I may just have Master Gallaraga on the panel so the theory will have to be top notch.

We're off to the ITA open next weekend so we're all looking forward to that. It will be a big test for the black belts as the standard is really high at these guys tournaments. No point in shying away from the lime light!

Stay tuned.
