Sunday - Happy Mother's Day!!!

Only a few came today...but that seems to be how Sundays go.
Today was Mother's Day and even though nobody got my joke the theme of the whole exercise was "MAA" or distance.
It seems that a lot of people don't understand what proper distance is.

We did a few exercises to try and feel the proper distance using sen.
We also did a "double Maa" for kicks. Double Maa is very hard to feel...which is good if you don't feel it. There is no threat making a double maa - this is one of the points.

Catching sen using kicks is very challenging. Kicks are slower than a 1/2 punch. Finding the timing for kicks is very difficult.

Combinations - tricky ones. If you can master tricky ones then the simple ones are easier to navigate. Also - sometimes tricky movements really throw off your opponent. It is good for our brains too.

Kogo -Kumite. We all had a few matches. Judging is the most complex part of a match. A lot of times we miss or are not sure if someone caught a point. It is good practice to judge a match because then you know what to look for.
