Napzzzzz

46 Hits

I guess my day is really just starting. I got off work at 8 AM, You’re so busy last night I didn’t get to work on my requirements. Then I took a quick cat nap and went to witness my friends marriage. Then I went back home I took another cat nap. Then I woke up and went to taekwondo.

I work with my mentees on how the properly prep blocks and punches in poomsaes. I remember when Master Natasya and Marcus started drilling on it with adult and higher belts. But I can see that they worked really hard on drilling so that every student works on it. That’s amazing, cause I definitely see the improvement in how strong our students can be.
So much potential! I remember when we first started working on them, and my poomsaes improved so much.


Then I came home and took another nap. So I’m going start working on my physical requirements the last hour or two of the day left.

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.
