It's warming up around here, so let's get to it.
TRAINING:
In the Kansas City Presas Arnis Meetup, we're deep into working with staff material now. Still using the Modern Arnis 12 Angles of Attack as a template, we're working through the staff version of those angles with an attack/defense drill (not quite block-check-counter yet).
We're about a week behind on this stuff in the Elite Dragon class, mainly due to weather closures, but things should be clear sailing from here on out, weather-wise.
As I mentioned last week, my plan is to stay in this material pretty heavily through March, then I'll probably scale back and just do some staff as a part of class vs. all of class.
Younger Daughter tested for her Shotokan Karate yellow belt at Elite Dragon this week. This is her, breaking a board at the end of the test.
I love being a martial arts mom almost as much as being a martial artist!
I'll be seeing the surgeon on a follow-up for my shoulder next week. There's been some progress but in other areas, not so much...

FRIDAY THOUGHTS:
Man, this year is shaping up to be a lot better than last year, training-wise, and I'm so glad for that!
Y'all stay safe, have fun, and train hard!
