not a morning person
But I managed to wake up this morning anyway and stagger to class.
Bob Sensei taught this morning.

kokyunage (backstretch then ukemi)
W/5th kyu. I was so stiff this morning, that it was really hard to fall. I was also tired due to lack of sleep, so I was low energy.
Next Sensei demonstrated a technique (he didn't name it..grr) I've done it once before. Swing up and cut down, bringing uke's arm back like shihonage while the other arm swings up over and across uke's chest (irimi)- Sensei warned that you have to get your head out of the way and keep it close to the outside of uke's elbow so they can't elbow you in the face.
This was also really difficult with my partner, who was at least a foot shorter than me. O_o

iriminage
You know, there are two things I can do without in the morning-- suwari waza and iriminage. Not much to note except some real slacker waza on my part. My partner got correct for pulling his extended hand back to far. Sensei demonstrated it on me, and I was once again reminded how iriminage is *supposed* to feel.
It seemed to last forever, and by the time we were done my head was pounding.
kotegaeshi (ura)
Hurray for kotegaeshi and the turnover. LOL I probably let my part twist my arm a little too much in the nikkyo pin, but it felt so good to be laying on the cold mat. Sensei just took that to mean that my partner wasn't twisting my arm enough and said "twist more!" eek! :)
Shomenuchi//
ikkyo (omote & ura)
W/katie. One of my favorites to partner with. Not much to note except I was pretty worn out by this time. Thank goodness for 1 hour classes.
Kokyudosa
W/katie. I tried to keep in mind what Sensei said last class about keeping your heels together and really "stepping" into the throw instead of just sliding over.
One of the first times in a while that I've not been corrected by Bob Sensei in kokyudosa.
2nd class was 2nd kyu and up, so I couldn't stay. I don't know that I would have anyway. I was beat!
Time for a cold shower... maybe a nap? :)

I hate any falling in the morning. I usually just do weapons in the morning, but if it's raining, we do jo-dori with falls anyway!
