Thursday 9/6

Today I did my push-ups and sit-ups faster than usual and I don’t know why but I felt like I had a lot more energy today. Today in sparring class I tried something different today instead of looking at their tactic I looked at how they spar what they mostly do and keep doing, I look at their weaknesses and use them to my advantage. For example: my friend gautomng has a tactic of getting in close to his opponent than jumping back then doing a roundhouse to get a point. Once I looked carefully I saw he is open at that moment when he kicks so when he kicks I block and manage to kick him instead. Same thing with master Marcus usually he slides back instead of blocking so he is open most of the time and that is your chance to strike. Sparring was fun, I hope everyone had the best day ever!!!!!
