DAYS 4 & 5 SHOTOKAN KARATE: A 30 DAY CHALLENGE

SHOTOKAN KARATE DAYS 4&5: of a 30 day challenge

Mostly talking about being more strict and disciplined.

Day 4: I only did weight lifting.

Day 5: I finished class 2 vid. Learned knife hand block and stances as well as the review after the warmup. Then I did class 3, skipped that warm up and went up to hammer fist strike and reviewed knife hand block. Went up to Gedan Barai 3-2-1 step kihon timestamp 15:41.
