Oh, we only have one more class before the exam day! Well, all of you who are testing already know what to expect, so I'm not too worried. However, I don't tolerate that you keep making a same mistake no matter how many times I pointed it out in class! I don't expect you to be perfect; I just need to see your effort trying to achieve what I'm teaching.

Class Subjects:

Kata:

• Your favorite (being observed...)

Kihon:

• Soto-uke ~ Gyaku-zuki (in place)
• Shuto-uke ~ Gyaku-zuki (stepping)
• Mae-geri ~ Mawashi-geri (in place)

Kumite:

• Uke-waza against Jo-dan Gyaku-zuki (semi-Kokutsu-dachi)
• Above, with a counter punch (Gyaku-zuki)
• Uke-waza against Jo-dan Kizami-zuki
• Above, with a counter punch
• Uke-waza against Mae-geri
• Above, with a counter punch

Self-practice whenever you can, especially if you've been missing a few classes lately. Believe me, 5 minutes of focused self-training is better than no training at all. Or It could even be better than 60 minutes of non-focused group lesson, in my opinion. Good luck!
