Wax on, wax off

Every time I get to the blocking and punching series of the Kenpo X workout, it reminds me of the Karate Kid.... the Daniel-son kind.  The movements are almost identical, and it sure does do the trick.  I kind of vary the blocks and punches though, so that they are closer to my taekwondo techniques.  My butt is sore from all the kicks and lunges from the past couple of days -- thought I'd throw that out there hehe.  I need to do some extra glute stretching in order to fix that.  Burned a lot of calories today, I feel good about the workout.  The back kicks didn't affect my hips and hamstrings so much today, that is great.  I shot for more height and intensity, and I feel it now.  Tomorrow's X stretch will be great, looking forward to it.

On another note, tomorrow starts a new schedule for taekwondo.  The instructor is starting an intermediate class, which means green belt and above.  This is great, because those of us that are green or higher can focus more on new techniques and defenses, rather than jumping around between the higher belt and the lower belt curriculums.  It will be a good change for sure.  And hopefully my foot is up to sparring this week.  I would really like to get back into that too.
