SBN Bon Senior taught class since KJN is away on a trip.
We had a class of 3 only but this afforded us some great opportunities. We started class doing the same warm up as KJN with punches but then continued this philosophy with basic motions across the floor.
We did low block, center punch, win jin, in/out block. We did them very broken apart allowing us to concentrate on our breathing and contraction. We speed them up to a mid speed then after a few more row to normal speed. I found this very helpful to allow me to concentrate on the points which KJN has been stressing over the month or so.
To complement other points which we have been working on, awareness of our partner, we did the exercise of standing with our partner in a closed stance with touching soo do middle blocks advancing across the floor and then retreating. Keeping our distance constant at all times moving synchronized \. We did this exercise with a twist, we wrapped a a white belt around or hips holding it with our free hand between the two f us. We then did the same exercise while trying to keep the belt at a constant level of tension. This really keeps you honest as to how well you though you were doing before. It also puts the focus on the moving of the hip and leading with the hip.
We then moved on to Chill Sung Ill Ro working to apply the concepts we have been working on with Joon Jool and Doo Moon. I found that I had so many things which I wanted to correct that I did the hyung horiably the first times through.
