Monday- Study. Practice. Train.

Incorporating requirements into what I do currently in my fitness routine. I enjoy the changes to minutes and the checklist in the books, it's makes me feel more accomplished.

I'm also studying to take my licensing exam for to become a registered nurse (RN). Most of my days are going to be a mix of black belt req, nursing studying/quizzes, and more black belt requirements. The exam is on January 18th; so, I plan to work hard until then, and on the 19th, I'm staying home and play videogames all day.   

I still need to find a mentor and mentee; it will be done before the week is over. Help out with classes today at Lake Norman, I missed so many kids and teaching. I got to work with new students (older kids), we went over kicks and punches. They did great, but I had reassured them that they did, and that its going feel awkward doing movements that are new to you. I also worked with some blue belts on Oh Chang. I told them that before they learn any more moves to the poomsae, they have to complete all the movement strong and separately in one poomsae. They'll do the backfist super weak to finish the inside block, it's messy and not good form. Slow down and complete each movement with strength and accuracy.

I've been finding the answers to the black belt study guide. The instructor book is the best tool, much better than google, but I have to flip through it alot to re-find pages.

End of the night, I'm going to crochet and listen to audiobook of Atomic Habits.
