Sensei's still on holiday so I went to my mate's dad's karate dojo where they tried to kill me.
The visiting shihan joke doesn't work anymore though although I still get the whole "He's wearing a white belt but he's not a white belt" speech.
At one point he went around checking everyone's posture and he first pulled my hand, I didn't move so then he climbs on my back leg, putting his foot in my knee and trying to break my posture that way. It didn't break. I was complimented on that.
Then in sparing I did quite well, I can hold my own with most of the dan grades.
As usual I vandalised a kata, Jion in this case. Actually I was kinda getting it by the end. At the end of class I was asked to do the cool down, I went through some breathing exercises.
