Needed to get out of the house for a bit and karate has become a positive outlet for me.

Sempai led this class and the focus was on fitness and sparring.

Sempai complemented my front punch.  While sparring with Sensai Edelen he suggested coming straight in with a front/screw punch to the face.  He is very good at sparring  – fast with good vision and focus. I don’t get a change to train much with him but today has definitely helped me. He has also started home-brewing.

While sparring with Lara, I caught a side kick in the left chest. It didn’t bother me much at the time, but later one spot in particular hurts when I put pressure on it. I’m wondering if I cracked a rib.
