Written by Since the beginning of our test, Elinor and I have been meeting up at the dojo on Sunday mornings to get extra numbers in. We normally focus on sparring since we both know how easy it is to get behind on rounds, especially since it’s one of the only things we have to do at the dojo, but we also do other things: makiwara, since it’s easy to do, kata, and sometimes push-ups and sit-ups, depending on how many we get done throughout the week.
I won’t lie, sometimes it’s hard to get up in the mornings for this. I am not at all a morning person, and knowing I’m going to have a workout as well definitely does not help, but these mornings have helped me get ahead on my numbers so much. And we also get Starbucks after some days and that definitely helps.
