Now that the holidays have come and gone, I finally have a chance to get back to tracking my karate journey. I’ve been steadily progressing and am half way to my blue belt. I had a couple of weeks off as the dojo was closed for the Christmas/New Year’s holiday. I was a little lax during my downtime and didn’t train as much at home as I should. I admit I ate too much and rested more than I should. I know it, I admit it, and now it’s time to get back on the wagon. I’ve started a better eating routine and have gotten back into my exercise and training regimen. If I can keep it up for at least two weeks, then I shouldn’t have any trouble keeping my routine.
I recently became more interested in weapons training and have ordered myself a bo and a dvd. I think it will be fun and help keep me motivated. We do have weapons classes at the dojo, but there isn’t a bo class for a while. The next class is tonfa, but I’m into those. I’m hoping once I’ve had a chance to learn a bit on my own, they’ll run another bo class at the dojo.
Anyway, the new year has begun and I’m excited about getting back to work and testing for my blue belt soon. I’ll tray and post here at least once a week, but no promises!
