Missed my first ukemi yesterday. I was supposed to roll but instead I landed my elbow on the ground, my thorax landed into my elbow and it hurted badly. I had difficulty breathing for 3 seconds and then, I was about ok... Still hurt when I press on my side but I will survive! For the kids class, I was partenered with the oldest daughter of a friend who has 2 kids in the course.
Saturday will be more easy (usually weapons class) but we will see in due time.
New rule for me: On yokomen, do not forget to move your back leg being you. If you don't, you will be "opened" for a kick between the legs by your attacker.
