Karate kicked my ass this week, in a good way. Good warm-up exercises. Pushed myself on stretches. Was able to do about ten pushups on my knuckles! Broke a couple of boards. Learned the first half of my weapons kata, Tonfa Sho. Was pushed to tighten up my kumite (sparring) by one of the instructors. Came away both nights at the dojo drenched in sweat, muscles burning, body and mind engaged. Practiced on the days I wasn't at the dojo. Somewhere along the way, earned a badge for the week: a tender bruise on the sole of my foot that may turn into a blood blister. And I had a blast the entire time.
