TRAINING: 

830AM-

500M C2 ROWER INTERVALS, MIXED WITH HINDU PUSHUPS (about 20 minutes worth).

ROW 500M, 10 STRICT HINDU PUSHUPS, FOR ROUNDS X 5.

I have to give a shout out to Jenn at A2O Fitness for choosing great equipment for her Meridian location. Kettlebells, a great multi-station, and some stall bars on the wall, which I used for a bunch of stretches today. 

This felt awesome!  

7PM-

MAX EFFORT TAEKWON-DO HYUNGS AT A STUDENT PROMOTION TEST, THEN LIGHT TRAINING AS MY MASTER TAUGHT ME PART OF A NEW HYUNG (Moon-Moo).

Learning a new hyung is part reward and part of an increased workload. It is gratifying to know that your teacher thinks you are ready to progress, but it entails a huge task in learning a new form (I barely feel like I know the last one, which I learned two years ago).

There are two points I would gain from this: 

1) Every time I learn a new hyung, I seem to learn from some previous hyung in the process. I am looking forward to the new skills and what new gains I will make. 

2) A good teacher is there to push you past where you are comfortable. I hardly feel like I know the 16 hyungs I do know, let alone learning another one. I know this is going to push me to another level in the future. I would not have thought myself ready for this personally, but your teacher often knows you better than you know yourself.
