- KB intermediate class - Arm bars before class, really seemed to help. 3 rounds of (10 2H SW with heavier bells (20kg for me), plank, 10 1H SW L/R (12kg), plank) to warm up. Then some swing skill work: silverback DL to feel the pull back with the lats, then jumping to lockout. The combination of the two produced the best swings I've done so far (16kg is too light, time to bell up to the 20kg). Clean skills next: arm is vertical at top, wrist tight, upper arm on body but not lower arm. A memorable KB day.
- Taiji class - big correction was elbows down to engage core and allow head top to suspend. Visual was from gyro, close the back of the armpit. Asked about core softness (hmmm), the answer was "internally firm, externally soft". Wow.
