Karate for Peace

D and I have started this peaceful karate training that is supposed to help him with self-control, discipline, etc. I have to join in the program. It is really strange since it's not really a class, just show up when you want and work out. We are doing conditioning right now. Here is what we are supposed to do:

*laps around the studio to warm up - walking, walking backwards, skipping, skipping backwards, one foot over the other, sideways gallop, walk around rolling head and arms, running
*10 push-ups, 10 crunches to both knees, 10 squat/stand/kicks
*run to other side of studio
*9 push-ups, 9 crunches to both knees, 9 squat/stand/kicks
*run to other side of studio
*8 push-ups, etc. all the way down to 1 of everything
*5 minutes of jumping rope moving forward, backward, sideways, and in circles
*25 right, front start kicks (I have no idea what they are actually called)
*25 left, front start kicks
*25 right, rear start kicks
*25 left, rear start kicks
*25 right roundhouse kicks
*25 left roundhouse kicks
*25 right kicks using whole foot or the ball of the foot
*25 left kicks using whole foot or the ball of the foot
*10 quick punches
*10 powerful punches
*10 elbow blows
*5 "diamond" push-ups, with thumbs and first fingers making diamond shape under chest
*10 each of quick, powerful, and elbow
*5 push-ups with hands directly below shoulders
*10 each of quick, powerful, and elbow
*5 push-ups with hands out to the side as far as possible
*10 each of quick, powerful, and elbow
*5 push-ups with hands directly below shoulders
*10 each of quick, powerful, and elbow
*5 "diamond" push-ups
*run and walk a couple more laps to cool down
*then we may work on "mental martial arts" learning about "the four agreements"

Ok, just looking at that list makes me exhausted. D LOVES it! I told him that I would work hard at karate like I expect him to work hard on therapy and becoming a healthy family. I have taken lots of breaks and skipped over things here and there. But today I did the whole countdown bit. 55 push-ups (though fairly weak and girly), 110 crunches, and 55 squat/kicks!!!
Supposedly, this has helped turn many bad boys and girls onto a path of positive changes in behavior. We'll see how it goes.
