ohhhhhh dagnamit .......
i am soooooo ashamed of myself .... I was having an excellent class today .... working on my grading syllubus, completing all the pins really well ...(I remebered them) ...then .... WHAM ..... im suddenly scared to breakfall! .... shiho nage was a problem that I over came .... then kote gaeshi came along and all went to crap ... in a serious manner ..... im not moving .... sensei s even say ... 1 ... 2.... 3 .... go .... and Im still stood there ..... not moving .... GRRRRR
Im sooooo angry with myself .... I went in a pissy mood .... and Ive actually come out angrier than when I went in ....
sensei had me practising doing them myslf ... and that I CAN do .... I just seem to have a problem going from a throw in to a breakfall! .... handy huh? .... so the last 45 mins we're just spent ... attempting to get a breakfall outta kote gaeshi .... IM SOOOO angry with myself ..... I may have to go back up this evening to attempt it again ....
Im really lucky because in the morning sessions its just me and sensei there most of the time .... so I get lots of 1 on 1 tutorials .... which is great .... but UTTERLY exhusting ..... so any tips on hyoe to stop this irrational and utterly annoying fear?
no?.... me niether!
ahhhh well .... back to the mats!
take ye care ... Em x
