Oh my goodness... last nights class just plain laid me out flat. I've had work-outs before, and long classes and such, but last night kicked my ever lovin' BUTT!
We did various versions of Kaiten nage: static, with motion, with a walking blend. We did one where you walk in behind the uke and use your inside arm/hand to them on around behind you, then you pause, extend and cut... throwing the uke in a kokyunage throw. If you do it right, it works well. If you do it wrong, like I did, your arms get exhausted... and boy am I tired now.
And THEN... as if THAT weren't enough, Ryo Randori: Kokyu, Kokyu, Kokyu...
I held on for as long as I could, but I just finally had to sit down. I coudln't go on anymore. Ugh... I have GOT to get in shape!
Arts Fest this Saturday! I'll report on how it goes.
