    I went in for a light 2 hours yesterday but today is a hard 2 hours. The afternoon classes got cancelled today so I was told I could go to early morning classes instead - this means I'm in with a bunch of young children! I'm really OK with that part but I hate the looks I get from the parents who sit through the whole class and watch. They are all very Chinese and stare at me like I'm insane or a criminal or both. But you know what- I pay for classes just like anyone else and if my classes were cancelled I'm going to crash these ones!

    @Soy_K That look.... is called jealousy.

    90 min black belt class, and it was a fantastic one. Starting off with warm up, then conditioning (pullups and squats for me today), then some light sparring for a few rounds.

    Then hook kick breakdown - floor exercises, standing, with partner working on close range reacharound hook, and kicking over obstacles.

    After that was forms work - we are focusing on a few members who are soon to be testing for higher rank, so I didn't do much here except help dial in others' technique.

    Then some tournament sparring practice... Full gear, full speed, must make complete contact, single point elimination, king of the hill style. It was fast, hard and I loved it! It's rare that I really get to let loose to that degree.

    Kata almost all lesson last night, sharpening up some of the lower grades for grading next month. I may try to fit in an extra class tonight because I'm not getting much time to work on my own kata and I'm grading too!
    I didn't get any strength training last week because of a busy work/social calendar. I need to get back to the gym a couple of times this week to get back into it.

    Afternoons off mean I can get to kids class and roll with one or two of the moms! It was great to get some extra time in to work on getting my Jiu Jitsu fitness back. I would be able to get to both classes this week and next! That means at least 5 Jiu Jitsu sessions per week
