I forgot to write yesterday so writing EARLY today. Today was pretty good overall. Getting some work done/catching up on logging things now. Taught some kids today, which is something I forgot I enjoyed. I love teaching, might be the best part of the cycle so far. I already said this at one point, but the dojo has started to feel like a second home. I’m spending a lot more time there than I ever have, so I feel closer with the people there. And I had a fun group of students today, (white belts). Went over their stuff which was all fine, so they got a sneak peak of Hwarang Poomsae. The first bit they did fine, but we got to the big turn and they all gave me big eyes haha. Then had a lot of fun trying to figure it out. That’s all then, hope everyone’s well.
