Mentor Session

31 Hits

Very sore, will probably take it easy tomorrow with physical requirements. Even though I'm sore, I feel like I can see improvement with my push-ups.

Today was a nice day with my cousin, we watched Hobbs and Shaw and Deadpool II. I got my car fixed and did some light studying.

I had a mentor session with Master Nastasya today, we went through the color belt Poomsae. She gave me very specific critiques that I'm excited to work on. New hand positions, places I can improve my preps, keeping my head level with transition to different directions. I'm excited to work on the improvements. I really love Poomsae work.    

I'll work on them this week, and probably video tape myself doing them this weekend. I like reviewing them and seeing what I can do well and what I can do better. My Instagram page had become mostly martial arts content with people giving demos on kicks and forms.

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.
