Ten hours down, 990 to go. Just do what you've done a hundred more times :-}
Morning karate. Have to focus on internalizing simple things. Footwork, stance and posture. Today did Seisan without the punches and blocks. Just feeling my muscles, my breathing and my hips. Changing levels, intentional and unintentional. Fighting and embracing the habitual routine.
PC coordination is strange. Push down and your abs tighten but differently than if you'd just flexed your stomach. Should shiko dachi be accompanied by an upward tilt of the hips?
Seisan dachi should be about sinking the PC, not flexing the glutes, to get the angle. Likewise chokusen gets the angle by twisting the hips not locking the glutes.
Trying to coordinate punching extension, shoulder low, tenshin, bringing the hip around and staying low when moving from shiko to seisan. Kagi zuki fits into here but I'm not sure how.
Gosh. The secrets of karate really rest in doing things that you've done thousands of times better than the other guy.
