I’ve been trying to document the karate I’ve been learning, since I sense that I’m rapidly exceeding my ability to remember random crap. Plus, I know that at some point I’ll have to take a month or two off, and I’ll forget everything. Just the basic techniques and combinations are already up to six pages of fairly dense chicken scratch.
Blind man: • Dragon block to right, stepping out LF. Control wrist with right hand if possible. • LH palm heel to head, left arm continues over opponent’s arm • Turn right 180 degrees, stepping with left foot. Swing right arm between your body and opponent’s body • Sweep fwd with right arm and back with right leg • RF boot to the head
And so on. I haven’t even tried to write down a form or a weapon yet. I think I’ve learned a lot more than I’ve realized so far.
In other news, I have to be at BU tomorrow (south bank of the Charles river) at 8am. This means that I must leave my garage between 6:30 and 6:45. Uuuuuuuungh. All this for the dubious privilege of giving a 30 minute talk over the Access Grid. I hate talking to videoconference audiences. My timing is for crap, and the feedback from the audience is delayed enough to be simply random.
