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

Friday Karate class.

Good class.

We spent most of the class working on one-step and basics to prepare for our upcoming test.  I was doing one-step with my friend, 3rd Kyu soon to be 2nd Kyu, and I was having a hard time.  He is as fast as lighting and I just could not get out of the way fast enough.  I was able to move but blocking him was almost impossible for me.

We then did some kata.  It felt pretty good but I am still having some problems getting my hips around on the first groin strike.
