well, we did karate last night... nice long warmup, stretching, and then basic punches, combinations (whoa paco tried to confuse us with high, low, middle/low, high, middle, and then back to the usual high, middle, low/low, middle, high... GRRRRRRR insane) and then stretch kicks and inside-outside/outside-inside kicks and paco made us jump stance a million times between each one... and then paco and migi worked off to the side on self-defense, and daddy worked me from kee cho hyung il bu up to pyung ahn sam dan, each form twice through. focused on keeping it level and using the hips, so on, so forth, techniques and everything... 'cept i didn't get around to focusing on keeping my toes in the right direction. ah, we have a new system: daddy focuses on me and yenyenners on mondays, migi on wednesdays, and paco on fridays. grrrrr i am losing my splits. not good.
