Mothers train online with some "me time" 3. Everyone train online before the festivities and calories of the day roll out.... 4. Train online because we are all here for you to provide distraction. There will be Kata, some interpritave Bunkai just for fun and we are going to run through grading syllabus + stretches to start your day. Have a chair/barstool and kickshield available. Looking forward to training with you in your lounge room again tomorrow. Last week we all caught up after class and it was great to see everyone fit and well and training hard.
