Every six months or so I usually tape myself to see how I am doing. It helps me see where I need work and clearly see my mistakes. Lately though I’ve been super busy and haven’t had nearly as much time to train as I’d like. As a result, I’ve lost my 720 jump inside crescent kick. My outside 720 has held up pretty well, but I can’t say the same about my butterfly twist. I’ve also put on 7 more pounds – ugh. In an effort to get back into training and into shape, I’ve decided to tape myself even more often and upload the videos for all to see. This way I shame myself into training harder. We’ll see if this works.
Analysis of my jumpkicks:
- I lose my balance on my double aerial
- My second jump inside crescent of my double jump inside is not as crisp as the first one and the rotation is not complete
- My 720 jump inside crescent is a 630
- I lose my balance on my butterfly kicks
- My butterfly twist is crooked. It’s been crooked for a while.
- 540 standing jump outside is OK. I need to work on getting extra rotation for 720s.

As someone who can’t even imagine doing that myself… not bad!

Man, its still all good. I’ve watched video my myself doing forms, sometimes, and most of the time, not pretty at all.
Going to start training again, I found a dojo!
