Out of Our Comfort Zone?
Monday, November 10, 2008
We started off the class with 50 jumping jacks and about 40 push-ups (each set at a different arm/shoulder position, ) then we went into a different sit up exercise by locking ankles with your partner and we each had to do a sit up in unison while passing back and forth the hand pad. Then we finished up with some stretching.
Next on the agenda were doing our DM’s. After about the 3rd DM, the Sensei had the black belts do the DM + 10 added to it. After this session, we formed two circles of 6 each to do dragon circles doing DM’s. You try and prepare in your head on what you are going to do in a logical order but after the 3rd or 4th DM, you are on just auto pilot. Here are the DM’s I did and listed in not any particular order: #1, #2, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #12, #15, #18, #20 and #26 (12 out of 23).
Then we partnered up to do a double wrist hold escape technique. The class ended after that. I thought the session flew by quick which means the lesson was engaging.
