Teaching my regular classes at the Ross Farnsworth - East Valley YMCA.

With the exitement of rank exams behind us and everyone sporting a shiny new belt, it was time to get back to training. The new attendance cards appear to be working out nicely, and I’ve reminded everyone of appropriate rank to remember to bring their sparring gear to every class. We spent a bit of time on each kata that’s “new” for someone following exams, though we didn’t have time to get all the way through all of them. We also moved on to a new sparring drill, moving ever close to jiyu kumite.

This coming Saturday, I’ll be staffing a table at “Healthy Kids Day” and trying to drum up business. Wish me luck.
