Kicking

I  know this is random, but does anyone else have this problem? Whenever I do a roundhouse kick, my toes point skyward instead of at the target. I don't know why this happens.

As for front thrust kicks, I find it difficult to thrust kick higher than mid thigh without leaning back or losing balance. Of all the kicks, this is the one that I struggle to do.

Although karate doesn't focus on kicks as much as taekwondo, there are many kicks. I've learned maybe nine of them. I wish to learn more kicks and improve the ones I know. I have no idea where to start. Sigh.

Summer Vacation

As, it is summer, many students have been going on vacation. So, yesterday's class had no white belts or no-gis.  I don't know what to think about missing class to travel. I guess, it's your choice and not mine, so, I don't need to care. But, still, missing classes isn't a good thing. 

So, enjoy your summers.

300+ Views

Although minor, having more than 300 views is a mile stone.

Two questions:

1. What gets you motivated to do things everyday?
2. How do you relax after a long day?

Thanks for reading and have a nice day. 

Blog is Slow Going

I know haven't been posting lately because I'm taking summer classes. If you read this blog, share it with other people. I haven't had a single comment or subscriber. Oh well. Thank you for reading.

Remember to take a moment to stop and enjoy the flowers!

Chasing Rabbits

Don't ask me why I was chasing rabbits today. But I did. I couldn't keep up. Sure signs of an unfit person. Then again, rabbits being prey, will run-hop away from any predator. So, being able to catch a rabbit would be a godsend.

Time to count

Since they say that less than 1% become black belts, I'm going to see the truth of that. In some dojos, there are reports that one in 1:25 becomes a black belt. Quite high. Others will say one in two hundred. Who knows. I'll begin to count every kid and adult.

Calf Pain

Agh. I'm feeling pain in both of my calves. I believe I strained it yesterday during practice. I can't stand, walk or move without feeling pain. God, it hurts. And strangely enough, I'm not doing anything to help myself heal. That's a bad thing to do. Or rather, not do. Eh. I'll suffer in pain for a while. Hopefully it'll go away.
