This is a log of my journey to Shotokan Karate Shodan and beyond.

Friday Karate class.

Good class.

We spent a lot of time working on sparring drills. It felt good to do some sparring for a change since it has been a long time since I have done any sparring work. We did something different, where we spent time doing slow motion moves to get our timing with our opponent right. It was really different and made me focus more on my technical skills instead of speed and power. My roundhouse kick is finally getting better, at least with the right leg. I was able to hit my wife in the shoulder blade a couple time with my right leg and always above belt with my left leg.
