Had class on Monday, just kumite'd a little bit and lifted weights. Primarily worked on back and biceps but threw in some ab and lower back exercises as well.

Didn't record my results though....

We had a Sensei W from Vee Jitsu stop by our dojo today and visit with us. I am not quite sure if he is planning on joining or was interested in just coming in to check us out.

In any case, I walked in and Shihan and Sensei W were already working out. I was introduced, changed promptly and warmed up off to the side.

After that, Shihan went through a couple of conditioning exercises we do. (Punches to the stomach, mawashi geri to the thighs). And then we did a little kumite. First with shihan then sensei W.

Kumite session went well and I learned some about fighting martial artists that use different stances. After the kumite sensei W pointed out some things to look at involving shoulders and head movements because they telegraph attack movement. I suppose you can always take something away from anyone if you are willing to receive it.

I'll try to elaborate more on the pointer he gave me at a later date.
