The Pressure is On

It's Friday. I can't make it in to the club tonight although Mark can. Which leaves Saturday and Monday to work on our stuff in the dojo, the rest will have to be done at home. Five more days. Just a sec while I take a deep breath......okay, I feel a little bit better now. (not really though)

We worked on techniques over the phone today on Mark's way to work, that was a little tricky. Should your hand be like this, or like this? Hmmm. No, definitely the first way. ?!?

I need to study my pressure points a little bit more today, we'll work on bunkai after supper tonight and we plan on going through all of our kata tomorrow morning. It's really nice being able to do this together. Although I've noticed that if one of us isn't stressing enough about the grading the other one will usually point out reasons why we should just sit down and cry. I'm not sure that's what "being there for each other" means but we're going to go with that.

I'm working on another article for our club's website and I came across this thought 'Karate-do is the method of developing the mind and body together as one unit'. Let's hope they work together next Wednesday night!
