Bo kata

At night, went to traditional Okinawan Dojo. Very different experience. Small place on top of a house, had that dojo smell. Far more relaxed than I expected. Okinawan Karate is relaxed, Japanese Karate is formal, it seems.
Kata based, not especially physically demanding, but the mental focus required as each part of the kata is broken down. Learnt the basics last night of a kata, will now practice as some parts of it do not come naturally to me.

Wednesday
Got up at 6, went to beach with James and Shin.

Jogged, interspersed with plyometric push ups with slow returns.
Then resisted running.
Lunges
Turning lunges
Plyometric press ups down stairs then fireman's carry up stairs x 3
Sit up pyramid
Movement drills.

Found the resisted running a real killer in terms of having me blowing out my arse.

The Press ups down stairs was difficult and hard on the wrists.

The movement drills were tricky, but I slowly got the hang of them.

Review
Doing a lot of leg work, got Jujitsu tonight, which should be a little cooler. Then Traditional Karate tomorrow. Will rest tomorrow as legs so tired... well, sort of tired. Hard to describe. My calves are taking a battering from these shoes I borrowed from James, shoes with toes. Weird but effective. Change how you run and everything.
