I'm surprised that today was so beautiful after all the rain last night. Today I met Master Dege and Master Burkhart at Mint Hill Park and we trained for 2 1/2 hours!! It's so helpful to train with people who can confirm that I'm not practicing incorrectly. We worked on high belt poomsaes and stick and staff forms. The only sticks form we didn't get to was Double Stick #2. Master Dege and I were also able to work on high belt self defense, especially 3rd Dan 1-step. The weekend was way too short!
