As you can tell from my last diary entry dated 13th February, I have been amis in keeping my diary updated. My excuses:
- work travel (a few times per month)
- carpal tunnel syndrome (not really)
- no internet connection (not really)
- just plain lazy (the real excuse)
Summer-itis has apparently hit me big time. I'll try and do better.
On Saturday, we had only the instructor plus two students at the class. It was nearly a private lesson. We worked on options when nage would grag the uke's wrist. Based on whichever hand was grabbing (katate tori or kosa dori) we had to think on our feet and quickly decide the best response. Needless to say, my response was poor and slow. I suppose I need to work on how to think on my feet.
