Stress relief..

So I missed class over the weekend. *grins sheepishly*
Tuesday was a good class. I almost thought about cornering Sensei to throw me a few times just to get the ukemi withdrawls out of my system.. lol

Bob Sensei taught.

Katatetori shihonage (backstretch/ukemi-- omote & ura)
W/Jerry. Somehow I think my shihonage improved. It wasn't as akward as it usually is. I asked my partner if I was wrenching his arm or pulling it in the wrong direction-- he said it felt fine. :)
Sensei interrupted a few times to ask us both if we were going to the dojo 4th of July party. lol

katatetori iriminage
W/Bob. We don't do katatetori iriminage very often, and I always find the opening difficult. Took me a few times to get my timing right. I still have a hard time breaking ukes grip on my wrist. Sensei corrected me on my entry, but I think I muddled through.

Katatetori kotegaeshi (ura)
Same partner... I remembered the class Ron taught a couple of weeks ago-- he'd spent a little time talking about doing a full tenkan in kotegaeshi-- he said many people only turn halfway, but according to Tohei Sensei, it should be a full tenkan. I noticed my partner abbreviating it a little... I didn't say anything, but he actually brought it up to me after a few rounds. We both worked on it, and it seemed to work much better.

Sensei shifted focus to kokyunage throwns after that.

nikkyo transitioning to a kokyunage (henka waza)

Good class. I was a little beat up afterwards though... I've got a huge bruise on my knee, another on my shin, a bruised knot on my thigh and a bruised arm. I went to work today and everyone was asking me who was beating me up... lol They still don't understand why I practice voluntarily. ^_^ If they only knew how much FUN it is. heh

Was a long day at work today... nearly 12 hours. I'm glad I'm off tomorrow. Dena is bringing the kiddos over, and we are gonna hang out. Class tomorrow night... should be a good, lazy day :)
