Note: Kangeiko, class of 3 on the side of Beginners Course with 4. Stumpy was so proud for going through 13 techniques calling, "Man! Thats a record for Kangeiko!" : ) No wonder senseis are so keen to go through so many technques so fast... What often happens having 2 teachers are that they give each other ideas which they would never think of themsleves, and considering the FACT boys are tend to be competitive (!) Roland Sensei might try to break Stumpy's record tomorrow with Nikajo...That could be challenging and fun.

Learning the complicated techniques takes "Time", however, it takes so much less time to forget them even with the all the efforts we put into. The ones like that are usually difficult or complicated...
For today, I was telling myself, I did this, I did this, I totally did this while we were doing Ushiro Ryokata & Ushiro Eri. I did not forget all about it but still not the way I did remember only over a month ago. They are both not easy but neat techniques, I wanted to remember them all back yet we all ran through them today.

With rolls : I am trying to push my body up with fist to fly higher, the attempt was totally failed today, but I will try it again tomorrow : )

I had no time to take a peek on the other side of the mat, so I had no idea what was going on with Beginners course but they seemed having fun.

Katate Mochi Shihonage-2

Hanmi Handachi Katate Mochi Shihonage-1
Hanmi Handachi Katate Mochi Shihonage-2

Shomen Uchi Shihonage

Katate Mochi Shihonage

Note:
Kangeiko has started! Class of 4 with 2 Senseis : ) Just kept going on techniques in 3 pairs. It was a quite exhausting and painful hour ; )

I fell too soon twice with Sensei's Shihonages. It was Not Only because his Shihonage is so strong, but my shoulder was having very uncomfortable pain, so I had to get away before my arms/shoulders were gotten by him. Once I start falling, it seems impossible to stop the motion, so I have to fall all the way. Guess it takes practice...
