星期一的课

Today's lesson was another basics lesson. I taught a Shotokan 8 directional punching drill, and went through the finer points of it, and then went onto forms. With warm-ups that was all I taught. It was a good lesson, great detail was discovered. Such as how the forms teach you how to balance your movement in order to apply techniques in different directions. Also, how when you let hard techniques flow they instantly become useful to all you training; internal, external, hard and soft.
The principle of the lesson. Examine what you are doing to find its true purpose.
The goal of the teacher. Practice your forms!
