Wednesday 19th August
The session started with a bang, all participants completed the circuit known as the Super 7. The Super 7 develops anaerobic fitness specific to our needs. Some exercises develop explosive power, whilst others develop core strength. Without boring you with the details it comprises of traditional exercises such as, press ups, sit up, tuck jumps etc at high intensity levels. Bodies flaying, red faces and the gasping for breath meant all was working hard, (some working harder than others!! lol). I am not a strict believer in getting fit in class rather, getting fit for class, but there are advantages to group fitness sessions both physical and psychological.
Five minutes recovery then the Karate starts with some timing drills and pregressing to working on 'line of attack'. The aim of the session was to develop timing, line and distance. Kicking techniques work on in conjunction with line work were Maewashi, Uro Maewashi and Ushiro Geri.
