Bokken-Dori

Well, I lasted a lot longer than I have been even though I missed last Thursday. (I worked late, again. T. and I did go to the victory celebration, though.)

We worked on shomenuchi ikkyo variations leading to shomenuchi bokken-dori - ikkyo, ikkyonage, kokyunage, and sumi otoshi and subtle flavors of those. Fun stuff! I really enjoyed class tonight even though I ran out of steam in a little over an hour. From then on I jumped into a group and tried almost every technique, sometimes only getting to be uke or nage but usually both.
