I got to class tonight about 2.5 hours early as I car-pooled to work with another guy and he had to leave work early. So, I took advantage of it and did lots of kata before the kids class started. I knocked out about 25 or 30 kata in an hour. That’s not a horrible lot, but I was pretty well tired by the time I finished it.

Tonights class was just plain fun. We did “bunkai kata.” Basically it’s a drill we’ve done a couple times in shotokan classes, but not often. You do the kata responding to people actually attacking you. We were doing it with about 5 people surrounding us and were darn near combat speed. It was quite fun. I got busted in the mouth/eye a couple times, and I did the same to others. I also did my patented BBQG Big Toe stomp on a couple people.
