Practice with a friend!

I haven't been sleeping as much as I should be the past few days  so I feel like I'm dragging quite a bit.  The good thing is that usually when I get time to sleep I don't usually have issues with sleeping.  Once in a while I get a bout of insomnia.  It always makes me feel bad for people with regular insomnia.  I don't know how they do it.   

So as we typically do, Mark and I practiced our self defense and forms together.  The good thing about practicing and practicing together is usually the other person remembers what you don't.  It also makes me more comfortable with doing self defenses since you get to practice with an actual person attacking, and you can play around with hand/foot placements with more time flexibility than in class.  I feel like this has absolutely helped me improve self defenses over time, so I'm grateful I have someone to practice with regularly.
