Saturday Sol

This was my view today while doing yoga (this Ekhart Yoga video) on the deck. I love the look of walnut leaves. The leaflets seem to create gentle echoes as they get smaller. I keep thinking there is a “tangle” design in there… somewhere. Haven’t done anything all week between sickness, sleeplessness and laziness. But [...]

Dojo Monday

Trying to come up with more themed posts like Work-table Wednesday. So… since karate class is on Monday evenings…. Boyo has joined the adult class now which I think is über cool. The “cost” of this additional training is to help in the lower classes. Another über cool thing. But that’s not really what I [...]

C5k W1D2: the good, the bad and yoga

Two workouts in one week! Went to the gym yesterday. Steve had a lot to say about it today. Lots of advil needed to keep me upright. Second session of a.m. yoga with the kids today. Boggles that running does not hurt but yoga (and just about everything else) does. ?????? Even tried some karate [...]

Karate Class Notes

Tonight was one of those classes where I didn’t really feel like going. I’m blaming the weather but… whatever. In the end I was very glad I went. I hope all this makes sense in the morning. I kinda feel like I was in that moment where I’ve just woken up from a dream and [...]

Sensei had us thinking about practical applications of different moves. We worked on the open/closed fist drill again. I like how he asks us to analyze  the what and whys of the moves. Even though I [...]

Panther Practice

Last night was a good practice. After the kids, Sensei worked with the adults. Which was me… aaaand 3 black belts. I need to work on the low stances in fukyugata ichi and my turns into them. Also need to look a little more intense during presentation. I’m coming up neutral. That’s not bad, but [...]

Karate Class

freewrite style… Worked on hip rotation tonight. I don’t have it quite right. Must practice more! Sensei says it is because women hate to make their butt jiggle. LOL! I don’t think I have a problem with that because at 42… EVERYTHING JIGGLES. Seems to me that it is more my lack of balance at [...]

Recharged and Ready to Go!!!

Last night’s class was great. I think I was overly ready to get out of the house after a challenging day because I got to class 30 minutes early. Woops! One of the things we worked on during class was “fighting stance” and what that means in different situations (class line up vs sparring for [...]
