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.

75 HARD (modified) Days 1&2 Keep checking out Patreon. Day 6 has video footage.
Day 20 ShotokanWe now have just a third left of this challenge! Just 10 more days after you complete day 20! My goal is to see how far I can get!
Day 19- the original 43 min audio which was supposed to be a 50min audio won't save.See previous Day 18 note also.
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.
I watched some of this random class video today. I'm not sure if it's Shotokan Karate. He has multiple long classes posted.https://youtu.be/QNJow_gyysk?si=5rwWapSUwa-Ik3TX

I talk about my own journey of times when I was most or least consistent, what I noticed with depression and insomnia in those times, and what I noticed about my energy, focus, and mood as well as just general intellectual abilities. How I am doing with tracking meals, eating healthier ingredients, deciding about which fitness routines to use for caloric deficits versus caloric surpluses.
