	<body><![CDATA[Today was black/brown belt training as always and I did my stuff on a side. Guys were doing some advanced jo partner practice and certainly had fun. Well I had my share too! I started with forward rolls. Not that they are perfect, but I felt better than the last time. Then some sitfalls and I liked them too, some suwari waza, stepping on a side. Then I did a lot of bokken cuts and felt they are improving. The only correction sensei did this time - he asked me to leave more space between hands. I told sensei that I would be grabbing higher than the line denoting the end of tsuka, but he told me not to worry about this since the line is made in incorrect place. Just make sure your left hand is at the end of tsuka and the right hand in 1 fist higher. Other than that my cuts felt really well. Then I did some jo practice - first 12 moves in 31 jo partner kata as a defender and as an attacker. Overall today's class went very well. This was a day when everything just happens to work :) I like it! ]]></body>
