Day 5 - 7/17/2024
Training day used to be fun, but basic. Now it’s giving me brain like NCU.
A lot happened today, my first official training day since cycle began. We practiced Kwonso, Chagi Sol, Taeguks, Koryo, Keumgang, Pyungwon, Taebek, and JiTae. Also self defense from white to green. While I had already covered all my daily cycle requirements earlier in the day.
I also met some of my mentors and mentees today, as well as some of GM King’s students.
One more critical thing that happened today is we moved the North Charlotte Toad to rearrange the Dojang. Every time we move the Toad I am reminded of Naruto’s master Sage Toad Fukasaku, who thought Naruto Sage Jutsu at mount Myoboku. This was a technique that allowed the user to mix nature energy with human energy, to complete techniques that would otherwise be impossible. Guess we are in Sage mode now ;)
