Don’t try this at home kids

I haven’t written for a couple of weeks as I’ve put myself out of commission.  A bad front roll out caused me to land on my neck and shoulders.  I heard the crunch inside my own head, and that can’t be good.  I was pretty sore and in no shape for any karate for about two weeks.  I also ended up with the flu during that two weeks.  When it rains it pours, I suppose.  I’m feeling better and went to class yesterday.  It was kata day and I figured I couldn’t do any damage practicing kata.  I now have Pinan Nidan (Pinan 2) memorized.  It’s not perfect, but I’ve got the moves committed to memory.  It feels pretty good being a full two belts ahead in kata.  It used to be the bane of my existence, but now I actually like it.  Don’t tell anyone I said that!
