December 7th

[Manny]

December 7th, that's the date I will have to do second dan testing in Mexico City, that's the 40 birthday of TKD in my country and sambunim told me we are celebarting with test examination.

Well I have to work hard if I want this seconn degree black belt, I have to improve my pomse and start doing some cardio work out, maybe I will start with light joging the nights I dont train or... train more days per week.

A challenge for a 40 years old fat guy but it's a promotion I have to go for it and for climbing in the thing I love.

dont forget wind sprints

martial arts is often a burst activity

wind sprints are great training for that

Having just finished my 1st Dan test, I will pass along the advice Master Instructor Wall gave me before the test:

"Remeber to breath!"

It was surprising how useful that was especially while we were doing forms.

Good luck and keep us posted

Manny best of luck to you sir.

Manny,

As many a Spartan was told, "Bring back your shield... or be on it."

Best of luck.

My sahbum gives me the same advice all the time - and he's right! People forget to breathe at the darndest times, especially when under stress.

Good luck!

You cna do it Manny! And i too will jump on the wind sprints/anaerobic training bandwagon. Look into HIIT or tabatta training as well.

and don't forget to breathe

Peace,
