Monday Motivation

49 Hits

I am feeling productive and fresh. I love beginning of the week.

Got further into the required book reading. Preparing for the job next week and cleaning through mail and computer. I worked on some kicking drills, stretching, using a chair and holding/pulsing my kicks.

I spent most of the afternoon at Lake Norman king tiger today. Got leadership, mentor and mentee session, and I worked alot on poomsaes and self-defense. Teaching and working with other is so beneficial to improving.

I know all the stick forms and I am pleased with the high and balance my kicks. Sometimes I can kick high, but my knee doesn't straighten. But I been trying really hard to fix it. 

I need to pack more snacks, my energy started to dip and I could fill it- going to go fix it now!

Happy independence from fear day

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.
