Today's been hectic. Went for a trail run with a friend at 07:30, in a woods in the midst of no where. I taught him some patterns (in a field? What?), and then argued with him as he said he would refuse to give me a lift (I was lost a bit in the woods) if I didn't practice spinning kicks for him. I won, I didn't spin. After that, we hit his gym. I love seeing people's gyms, they're all different. It had a basement with a mirror wall, allowing me to check my forms and do general things by myself (I'm a bit of a lone wolf when it comes to gym, I don't always tend to do what my partner for the day does). The rest of the gym was cool, too, got shown a few new exercises (and hated them).

Slightly bummed out by the fact that my coccyx STILL haven't healed enough after 2 months to do any form of comfortable rowing. I can't sit on them properly, either. Frustrating.

I went to help out the karate class today as well. I was the only Jun Tong (Korean for traditional, our school name) student there. I was pretty enthusiastic and so helped liven the other students up today. They ended up pretty excited!

Helping the kids in the junior class, however, made me very angry. I had to shout a lot and use a stern voice, which was making me angry. Master L didn't take them today because he was annoyed with them, too, and needed to step away, leaving them to me. I made them behave, but BOY was it effort. Also I hate disrespect from arrogant kids. But we managed it, we got through the class!

The biggest thing today was that we did spinning and jumping today in senior class. And I had a real go at both! I mean, I have a lot of improvement to make, but I kept trying. My height is fine, I just have issues with believing enough to make more contact. I'm happy that I actually just managed to really try things like jumping back kick, spiral kick, double flying sidekick, etc. Usually I get pissed at one flying side kick and give up. Spinning was the same, I tried a fair bit, before starting to feel sick and just holding the pad, haha. My friend C also improved. I think maybe me trying harder at the jumping and spinning made her try harder too. If I can make a real attempt when she knows I fucking hate it, she can too! Good for her, she is much improved.

My friend said today. Well, /I/ took it as such, but he's being an asshole and denying it. My friend said by being underconfident in jumping, spinning and breaking, I wasn't worth my blue belt. I fucking agree. He's backtracked now, thinks the opposite or some such, but I had liked that I felt it was truthful. It seems to have kicked my ass back on track. Weird. Anyway, I am so tired I am about to drop. Screw other people being too much, I need some sleep and to gym tomorrow. Night.
