April 2nd

I had an awesome day today. I enjoyed my morning coffee and watched ESPN with my dad. I then did my morning workout at the lake at the edge of my community. I relaxed for a bit until it was time for me to head into the Dojang for the day. I got to King Tiger and enjoyed my lunch while the kids watched the minions movie and played Mario kart. I got some time to stretch out properly today as I know that my mentor Master Oppy is teaching sparring class this evening and he like any other instructor does not play. I got the privilege of helping out Instructor Garrett with his classes and then got to teach the Junior Tigers class afterwards. It makes it so much easier to transition smoothly to a good class when you have great examples to follow. I really enjoyed teaching the black stripe lesson of coordination and hope the kids had fun and learned as well. I then had a very grueling taxing and enjoyable sparring class. We honed in on using the cut kick and making a combination based off utilizing cut kick to lead off. He really packed so much into a class the stretching beforehand was intense and the actual spar at the end of class was beneficial since the goal was to score off of the cut kick. Master Burkurt also teaches a very strenuous class so we had a great time in Black Belt Class as well working on poomsae weapons kicks and physical fitness. I'm actually really tired which is rare and awesome feeling for me I appreciate all the work I got to do today and I hope tomorrow is just as productive and positive. Take care have a good evening everyone.
