What I Need To Work On

Today at the dojo I got a huge reality check. I may have two weeks until my meeting but there are still some things I need to work on. Harry had Antonio and I practice how we were going to present in front of our committee and man he was not impressed with what we showed him today. I know that I looked a little pathetic. I felt kind of stupid while talking. Even though I know all this stuff it shows that I have been lacking practice. We didn’t have too much time to practice but that’s why this is my senior project because I have to do all the work; in this situation it means I have to make time.

I have to make time to practice my self-defense techniques first. Being that it is one of the only things that I can actually do physically then it is really important to make sure I nail the self-defense techniques. I have five to do and it may seem easy but trust me it’s not. Not only do you have to know what you are doing but the person you are acting with also have to know what you are doing so they can play along. You don’t want to get hit with an elbow at full speed. So I’m going to try to meet up with Joey over the weekend so we can practice. I think I’m going to ask him to come to practice on Saturday so we all can be there at the same time.

That would be easy, asking is the easiest thing of this project but I really didn’t expect it to be so hard. When I say that I mean hard in the since of remembering everything and doing everything the way it needs to be done. I also found out today that I need to add some history of Kyokushin into my presentation. I don’t have to add a lot because I did a research paper but it definitely will make Harry happy and that will help me get his vote so that’s what I’m going to do. Also I noticed that I didn’t think of a couple questions that they may asked me. Questions like: What is a Kata? And why do we do Katas’?

I thought about those questions some and got an answer. Now I have to review that and my self defense things. Once I get those things down packed then I feel like I will be ready to present completely. I know I probably keep saying I’m ready but it’s because I honestly am just ready to be done. Everyday I feel this way. Just want to get this over with, but I need it to be on point, so it’s time to practice.
