Broken iphone on Wednesday, refused to turn on, turned itself into a plastic brick. Booked in to see the Apple guys at their shop on Saturday, charged it tried it a few times, no change. Until half an hour before i set of for the shop when it turned itself on and behaved like nothing happened. The Apple guys were great suggested a few solutions and offered me a new phone if I wanted it. I'll stick with the one I have, see if the system restore works.
Today's class was fun, some people get a bit tense around the shoulders when punching or blocking so the first half of the class was based on that, unfortunately the guy who gets really tense decided not to come this week. Still it was good relaxing then exploding blocks. Next week I'll do something similar with punches, hopefully my tensest student will turn up

I've started training properly now about 40 mins of walking in the morning a run at night and an increasing amount of rowing each day, on a machine. Of course the taekwondo continues teaching and doing. I have to teach 2 hours on Friday, one ordinary and one sparring. I've been teaching tkd since October and it gets increasingly hard to think of new ideas www.4kicks.com helps a lot.

First post, let's make it short, nobody may ever read it. I wanted to concentrate on my taekwondo with this. I teach a class at the Watton youth and community centre in Norfolk, UK. It is on a Sunday morning from 10 till 11. I have not been running it for very long, but I have a few people coming I could do with some more. Today I was concentrating on self defence and we spent the lesson defending against a front punch. We did just the one attack and concentrated on just one way of defending yourself from it. I was worried as it was the narrowest lesson I have done, it worked well though and I felt that apart from the senior students all moved on a lot, Senior students benefitted from helping others which refined their techniques. At least, that is my take on it and I think its correct. Time to start planning for friday when iI teach the chief instructors class, because he is on holiday, a much bigger class than mine.
