Daddy went to pick up Ninong, so Migs stretched us out. The usual. URRghhh it felt good to do frog splits again. Then I took over, just for punches and stretch kicks. Daddy was home by the time we were done, and he took Migs and worked forms with him. Paco and I practiced one-steps; I went through all 40 and he went through his 10. It was kind of hard, because I'm obviously used to aiming high with my blocks and kicks, so now I had to watch him carefully... I definitely needed that.

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.
