Nidan desu!

It’s been three months plus, and I should really revive this, but wireless conspires against me. I feel better, need to be more aggressive, and take better care of myself.

The one lesson I’ve learned is that napping/being rested=better keiko!!!

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.
