Last night during class, a student in class was doing super high flying kicks. It was great to see him do it but I do admit that I'm a little jealous.  I know that I'm never going to be a high flyer,  With a heavy frame and a bad left knee, super high jumps are not my thing.  But one thing that I did learn about being in Martial Arts is that you adopt things to your strength. 

When I first started TKD, kicks were a struggle (still are at times) but I've learned to get better with them and have a high kicked then when I started.  But I do know that have a lot more power in the upper then most students and I have more knowledge with throws and body locks and some of the students that are great kickers have told me they wished they had some of the power I demostrate.

The assistant instructor demostrated to me how to do a flying punch,  which was intresting to do and i can see where it can be a powerful board break.  He told me that should easly go through 4 boards if not more.  I would like to try once and then do in a demostration. 

My form Tai-gye is coming together and I'm looking forward to know cleaning it up and getting it flow better, I do it really slow and want to have nice smooth as butter. 

I'm glad the weekend is here and I'm going out of town to do some shopping and hang out with friends.  hope everyone enjoys the weather if it's nice where you are, we are suppose to get snow tonight
