CIC 2 Day 5

Today was less physically demanding, but it was mentally exhausting. I didn’t use the inhaler at all!

We covered several techniques in the morning. In the afternoon, we went over the principles of Krav Maga, and then each student taught part of a lesson. We did only the introduction and exposition, no drills. Every person had a turn. It was kind of tough to cut off part of a lesson like that, but we all did pretty well.

I’m still working on being comfortable with teaching a single combative. I’m really struggling with the simplest things. I overthink for sure.

After all that (but wait, there’s more), we studied the curriculum in small groups. We stayed later than usual (until at least 6 p.m.). The instructor stopped us only when our brains couldn’t absorb any more information.

Oh, by the way, lunchtime today was the halfway point of CIC 2.

Today I took my cardio in the form of a walk on the beach. The weather was stormy but not ugly.

After that I went to fencing practice. I missed the warm up, but I was there for drills, and I got to bout with four people (usually I’m lucky if I bout with one person). Today was a good day.

Tomorrow my mask should be here. I’m looking forward to trying it out. I’ll let you know how that goes!
