Last night Kip taught class. There wasn't very many students, (Nate, Doug, and Kate), likely due to summer camp. We started off with warm-ups and then Kip called me up to be uke for the katatetori kokyunage. For the rest of the night, I was uke for all of the demonstrations. I really tried to give good attacks and the flip side is that I had a great overall practice because I was always moving. After the kokyunage we practiced the following techniques:
- shomenuchi ikkyo omote and ura
- shomenuchi nikkyo omote and ura
- shomenuchi iriminage
- jotachi kata number one
- kumitachi number 1
Some nights at practice, I just get into the clichéd "groove", all of the movements flowed, my techniques and my ukemi dissolve into a continuous movement with my partners. During the weapons, martial awareness and my weapons were extensions of my own movements. Good stuff.
