Class last night
I missed Tuesday as I wasn't feeling very well, so was having serious ukemi withdrawls.. ^_^
Bob Sensei Taught...

iriminage (backstretch/ukemi)
W/David...who seems to be getting more comfortable and confident in his training. We always have fun on the mat. Had some minor Sensei intervention for my partner's ukemi. He demonstrated a few times on me as well-- he told David that as nage, one has to throw the direction uke wants to fall, not force them into one particular direction.
I tried to keep that in mind too while practicing. Sensei watched us for a few minutes then left us to it.
Kotegaeshi (ura)
W/David. I've gotten much better with the tenkan when bringing uke in front of me.
David really made me find the right kotegaeshi though.. lol I gave him this funny look when I applied kotegaeshi and he stood there not moving a inch. He really made me work for it. ^_^
In return I helped him find the right nikkyo pin for me on the turnover. hehehe *evil grin* Sensei corrected his turnover.. For some reason I can never get the turnover to be as effortless as everyone else makes it seem, and Sensei has yet to correct me. I typically take what little pointers he gives my partners and try to apply them.

Shihonage (omote & ura)
W/Mike. Just when shihonage starts making sense, I get tunnel vision... grrrrr
We practiced for a while and then suddenly I couldn't see very well. I got very disoriented and excused myself to sit on the edge of the mat. Sensei came over and asked Mike "did you hurt her? Did he hurt you?" I told him what happened and he made me lie down on the mat. I felt really silly, but I did feel better after lying down. Sensei made sure I wasn't injured, asked me "do you want me to kick him out of the dojo? I can do that you know?" LOL Mike told me after we took an early water break that Sensei is always trying to kick him out. hehehe
After break, I felt much better. Sensei switched focus to bokken practice. We did a four directional exercise then practiced in pairs--
W/Klara. In natural stance, one person swings down while the other blocks to one side. They swing down and you block to the othre side. Back and forth...etc...
We got into a pretty good rhythm with only one minor Sensei intervention. He said I wasn't gripping the bokken hard enough.
He started striking at me alot faster and harder than Klara was... lol I didn't have much time to worry about which direction to block-- I just didn't want to get hit in the head with Sensei's bokken O_o
Good class, though this is the second time in a couple of weeks I've gotten dizzy or disoriented. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with my diet. Perhaps I am not taking in enough protein? I may have to incorporate more fish into my diet.
(sushi anyone? :))

I used to get dizzy when I didn't exhale during ukemi. Also when I got thrown so hard I saw stars.
Yeah, sensei said he thought it was lack of oxygen to the brain. I need to work on the whole breathing thing.
O_o
Okay, I finally added another entry!
