My improved fitness is really showing through the summer training sessions. It was pretty hot and humid in the training venue last night, with the day time temps getting up around the mid-30s. Though it was uncomfortable because I sweat like it’s going out of style, I didn’t feel very fatigued. We spent a lot of time working on the finer points of a few kata. In particular, I worked on refining my movement in a new kata that I am learning. I worked steadily for about 20-25 mins on the kata, taking short breaks only to towel down and get a swig of water. It felt good to get to the end of the session knowing that I’d worked hard but wasn’t running myself into the ground to do so.
