Oh oh.. I haven't posted in awhile

It goes to show that being involved in my home, work, and Karate has made it difficult to sit down and type in my blog. I guess that I should consider this a good thing as it shows that I'm applying myself.

My latest efforts in Karate is to improve on the following things:

Front kick - working towards bringing my knee up higher, and keeping it there. I have found that I've developed a lazy habit of dropping the knee as I kick. I guess that it's easier on my hip that way... but I won't strengthen by taking the easy road.

Saiha Kata - fine-tuning the small moments, and "feeling" the power flow when changing stances especially when turning, and going into Sanchin Dachi at the Kiai points. I want to feel the "why" of that movement, and understand it better.

Nunchuk - speeding up the flow, but realized that the targeting seems to be affected. Am I subconsciously protecting my head by making the weapon go out more? I don't know.. It could be.. or is it the speed of the weapon that changes the trajectory? I will be focusing on learning that as I improve in strength, confidence, and speed.
