Still continuing

Yes, I am tired.
But still I am making some effort to go for training.

It was one of my goal that I have listed, during the first day of work.

Today, basic drill.
Then, practice with partner.

Sensei's speed is still amazing. Eventhough I was anticipating an attack, but the speed was so fast that I went blank. For the next moment when I know, I have been hit.

And the punch was heavy,
but still well controlled.
The force spreaded out, and didn't penetrate deep into me.

Ok, tired.
Will just stop here.

Today's 一言: Continuing the journey...

Quiting?

Work started.

No longer a student who have all the time in the world to do all the things that he wished to.
Work started, and the working hours sometime will just overlap with the training time. Even when the working hours don't overlap, there are endless assignment and readings that I need to complete.

It makes me very tired.

Do I have the energy to work?
Do I have the energy to train?

A balance need to be strike.
Or is balancing impossible?

Training, after a month of break

Took a break, for a month.
Training resume.

But apparently my body was not really prepared.
Training was not tough, but the body got tired easily.

***

Two groups of people.
First group of people line up in a zig zag manner.
Second group line up, and start to attack the people in the first group one after another, as fast as possible with a fixed technique.

Two things.
To always keep oneself in the fighting stance, to punch fully.
To always control the distance, switching the leg as needed.

This is the training like Kendo.
撃ち込み (uchi-komi) [Hit in?]
The idea is to train the person to charge in, to change the direction, to switch leg.
Foor work.

***
Kizami-Tsuki
刻み突き
Jab. What it actually mean is to chop. It should be very snappy, like using the knife and chop chop chop chop... fast!

That was what sensei said.

***
Kicking.
It is not only about the leg that is being lifted up.
But also about the leg that is on the floor.
In short, both legs are important.
