Today, I wasn’t able to attend the training myself, as my exams are on and the pressure of studies is mounting. But one thing that gives me immense confidence is the planning we had done earlier – our detailed day-by-day, minute-by-minute curriculum ensures that the program runs seamlessly, even in my absence.
My trainers, who are Masters and Blackbelts in Karate, along with the rest of my team, are simply amazing. They carried out today’s session flawlessly, bringing both discipline and energy to the hall.
The focus of the session was on five punches – Oi-zuki, Gyaku-zuki, Kizami-zuki, Uraken, Jodan-zuki, Gedan-zuki – and two hand strikes – Nukite and Teisho Uchi. These Japanese names may sound daunting, but each technique, when used in the right manner and situation, can cause enough damage to a perpetrator to allow the victim to escape safely.
Even though I wasn’t present, I didn’t miss a thing.
After the session, I received a detailed report along with photos and videos and seeing the energy and confidence on the girls faces gave me the same joy as if I had been standing right there with them.
