Re: shihonage:keeping the hand in front of yer face
Just remember that when you train hard you also receive hard, even when you don't want it. O'Sensei put it this way when he was with a senior student at a demonstration: O'Sensei knew that his techniques were deadly at top force and speed, and instructed his students not to go that hard at him, as he would have to meet the same force with that of which he was attacked with, when the senior student failed to listen, his arm was broken and shoulder dislodged on accident with Shihonage out of a breakfall. O'Sensei was furious with the student and refused to teach him for years after that.
You get what you give for sure. Just be careful.....
