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

Last night’s end-of-year class was surprisingly well-attended. I gave the youth class an introduction to side thrust kick and back kick. We have a ballet bar attached to one of the walls in the studio we use, so they were able to use that for balance, which helped them concentrate on the path of the technique. The adult class was mostly kata. We spent the most time on Heian Yondan, but also worked our way through Jion and Tekki Shodan.
