(back-entered) Halloween ranting 75 HARD DayWoops! I lost day 29's recording as it somehow got stuck on my phone! But luckily I am able to play it so as I was doing my garage workout on day 30, and as I was making some breakfast, I played my phone audio out loud as I captured the sound through my laptop. Sorry but this was the best I can do for this one as of now. It was some good multi-tasking.

Day 16 of 75 HARD (what week 2 showed me, Shotokan practice for white belt)I'm still practicing Alialraisi kihon basics and combos forward and backward https://youtu.be/MUf2ocNnRLw?si=BVKK3sTVy4Bzge17 I learned newly today about nukita uchi- spear hand strike. And I'm still learning the mechanics of some of the combos from the video. I've practiced the Kung Fu form of Lian Huan Quan and Shotokan Kata Taikyoku Shodan.

75 HARD Day 6: Shotokan Karate Day 24/30 Video in Description (Minute 17 the update discussion begins)
Day 24 Shotokan 24min post review infoTime stamps:0-24 min: driving and talking on my way home, rambling, talking while I set up, to practice in the indoor and outdoor larger space.24min to end: talking about the experience of recording (see 75 HARD Day 5 description links for the video of my embarrassing practice). Remember I am still a beginner AND newly on the other side of a long term injury AND foggy AND I don't quite like camera recording at all. I've definitely been splitting my practice time between so many other activities. If I was only practicing 90 mins daily I think I'd be more organized. I'm trying to find my limit of pushing my energy to where I can both balance it but also raise my tolerance in a lot of ways.

Energy, Focus, Scheduling, Tracking: Day 18 ShotokanI used this link for my practice today (same link as day 17) https://youtu.be/Uan33bfsvSw?si=RYap-sQUBnCdf8EVI did from timestamp 0-12:45 minutes. I slowed the video at times to 25% to check. It's my best guess of what happened in the first 12:45 minutes. Combos forward then backward1a (Fwd) Gedan barai, oi zuki1b (Bwd) age uke, oí zuki2a (Fwd) sanbon tsuki- triple punch2b (Bwd) age uke, Gedan barai, mae geri, gay Ku zuki [NOTE: the sensei seemed to say “Gedan barai.” But the movement seemed to be a very narrow stance, I'm guessing due to the next move being a kick, then the kicked leg went back done into the narrow stance before stepping out into zenkutsu dachi with oi zuki]. HAPPY YOM KIPPUR.
Day 17 Shotokan(Sorry I don't have space to record tonight). I used this link for my practice today https://youtu.be/Uan33bfsvSw?si=RYap-sQUBnCdf8EVI did from timestamp 0-12:45 minutes. I replayed a lot of it and did it together with the class over and over. I have estimated notes of what I think are the names of the moves they did. But I'm not 100% certain. I slowed the video at times to 25% to check. It's my best guess of what happened in the first 12ish minutes. First were warm upsmae geri 3 sets 10xoí zuki gayku zuki 2. Combos forward then backward(F) Gedan barai, oi zuki(B) age uke, oí zuki(F) sanbon tsuki- triple punch(B) age uke, Gedan barai, mae geri, gay Ku zuki [NOTE: the sensei seemed to say “Gedan barai.” But the movement seemed to be a very narrow stance, I'm guessing due to the next move being a kick, then the kicked leg went back done into the narrow stance before stepping out into zenkutsu dachi with oi zuki]. I stopped about there. I really had to slow the video to view some of the steps. If I'm wrong and I find out later I'll try and come back and change the notes in the description.HAPPY YOM KIPPUR.
Healthy Risks for Goals, Day 16 ShotokanThis is the next video of the Oman Karate I have been watching. I'll complete watching it tonight near bedtime. Another example of the class.https://youtu.be/Uan33bfsvSw?si=yzAsZx6JjKVcsPhrThis is a video I started watching during lunch. I haven't yet completed it. It's an interview about karate in Oman. I'll likely watch it in 20min segments.https://youtu.be/djWKWd24niI?si=6YxfF0XcTa4jVdZU I talked a lot about my own methods of coping with failures. Motivation. Changes. Awareness. Habits.
