Did my physical req, then went to king tiger.
When I got to king tiger, I went for run. My goal was to ruin for 35 (I’ve been doing a run plan with Mike running app). But when I finished, I only had .75 to a full mile, so I pushed myself. 
Then I did something some stretching and assisted with class.  I was able to get a mentor session in and work on hopkidos, I know 1-3 really well, 4-5 are muscle memory but can use some practiced, 6-7 are tough. I’ve done them, I know bits, but the full form isn’t together. I did some mentee sessions. I worked on 3 Dan Self defense. I stayed late to work on my demo routine as well. I got a lot of things done today.

Afterwards I went over to aunts and had dinner with her and my cousin. It was really nice. Now that I don’t live with them and my dad, I have to put more of an effort to see my family.

Today I made matcha tea for the first time. I'm excited to keep working on it and trying different recipes. I really want to work on enhancing my drink making skills (coffee, tea, etc.). While I was drinking it, I find a few videos on YouTube on how improve the flavor and different add-ons. 

I worked on poomsaes using the Kukkiwon Youtube. I only review Il, Eh, and Sam. 

Ms. Suzanne and I worked on hopkido 4 last Saturday with guidance from the Grandmaster Lees demo video and in person guidance from Instructor Jen. I didn't think I could learn hopkido from reviewing videos, but after watching hopkido 5 today, multiple times, I feel comfortable with the steps. I'll still need to practice it in person and with an instructor for technique, but at least I'm more familiar about it. Hopikdo it not my favorite thing to practice, so learning it can be a bit overwhelming.
