Sunday morning
I barely made it to class this morning. It took a sheer act of will to pull myself out of bed at 8:45. Had to get gas too. UGH. Was really dragging. I've discovered I have a lot more energy if I grab a slim fast before class though.
Bob Sensei taught this morning.
Started out with katatetori ai hanmi iriminage
w/Kate. Focused on swinging up. (up is up!) Also tried to sink lower in the technique on the pivot.
katatetori ai hanmi kotegaeshi (ura)
w/Kate. Not much to note here. I'm still struggling with this technique.
Katatetori ai hanmi ikkyo (omote & ura)
W/Nathan. Same problems I always have. I dont always keep my hands in front of me. He made me work on moving before uke grabs. O_o hehe I must say it made the technique much easier. He also helped me with the pin. Extending uke's arm out further, bracing the wrist against the outside knee and the rib against the inside knee.
katatetori tenchinage (omote)
W/a girl I've never practiced with. YAY! I do know my left from right. I usually have a hard time remembering which way to seperate uke's hands. up? down? which makes it almost look like a dance when we practice ura.
Kokyudosa
same partner. I tried to focus more on my breathing. John told me yesterday that you have to breath while practicing. LOL I guess I tend to hold my breath?
Managed to make it an entire class without Sensei intervention. That must be a new record.
Ah well, good class. Couldn't stay for second class as it was 2nd kyu and up. But that's okay. I'll get to play with the big kids... in a few years. heh
Attention span is dwindling, so no details. Gotta get ready for work. bah!
