I went back to my karate class on Thursday for the first time in 2 months. I was the only one there, so we went at my pace. I wouldn't let them make me do spinning kicks or big grabs.
Some of the katas we were working on, they said I did better than before I left :) But there were some things I was clearly down on.
For instance:
- On the block-punch combinations, on the turn and do it with the opposite side, I was off
- I couldn't even do half a pullup. How embarrassing is that!
- I couldn't even come within 6 inches of touching my toes. That was because my back was really tight.
So today, 6 days later, I tried pullups again, and I managed 3. I don't know how I managed that from 0 last week, but I won't complain. At work, while I was waiting for compiles, I practiced stretching to my toes, and I eventually made it there.
