159.0 lbs, 17.6% body fat, measured after San Shou. Tonight was the first time I've been to a Thursday sparring practice in a very, very long time. I'm going to just have to force myself to go to San Shou both nights, even though I'll be sore on Thursdays. I need the practice sparring. I need to work on following through forward on roundhouse kicks rather than leaning back and tapping. I need to continue to remember to relax and breathe deeply. And most importantly, I have to stop fighting from my shoulders and concentrate on my dan tien when throwing punches and kicks. I need to maintain balance and let my feet get me closer, without leaning my torso or reaching with my arms. I need to watch myself punch and move around in front of a mirror to identify where I am vulnerable to attack, and think about how I will defend those areas.
