More kata! Normally I love it, but normally it’s just 1 hour, not 1.25! And those poor beginners–I hope they don’t think that this is what kendo is (well, normally).

Actual practice was great–maybe it’s the naps I’ve been taking. Plenty of solid oji-waza, kept the center, felt good energy, knee didn’t really bother me, I did pretty well and was relatively relaxed against most opponents. I should work on my makiotoshi, though–right now it only works (and spectacularly!) against kohai.
