A Beginner's Point of View 523-524

Day 523:

Today we had class in the gym as the dojo was being used for other functions. We used the long dimensions of the gym for stamina training. We started with kiri-kaeshi, men-ouchi, kote-ouchi, and doh-ouchi. We worked on some advanced drills that teach you to react to your opponent’s seme. Men-debana-kote and kote-suriage-men.

We finished with some kakari-geiko and ji-geiko. I think I’m really improving my stamina little by little. I never even felt like sitting out once.

Day 524:

Today we were back in our dojo. Those springy hardwood floors are really nice. We did the class lengthwise to take advantage of the space. We did kiri-kaeshi, men-ouchi, kote-kiri-kaeshi, kote-ouchi, and doh-ouchi.

We then did more of those seme drills. Reacting to an approaching opponent, men-debana-kote, and men-debana-doh. We finished strong with a long kakari-geiko and several rounds of ji-geiko.
