Dario sei sempre in retardo
Came late to training again yesterday. All because of a stupid netball game.
Anyway, missed the warmup completely but at least I had my dou and tare on properly by the time seiretzu was called. Luckily we did kata first up. I was kinda knackered from the netball games. This gave me a little bit of leeway to warmup a bit and stretch out a little. Practiced the first 4 kata. I guess I'm getting a bit better. Still have trouble with the footwork for kata 3 as the uchidachi. After the intial cut, uchidachi must take a step back with right foot, then left foot.... then (realises he is defeated) takes another step back with the left foot, then right foot then left foot. I can't seem to get the rythym right for the two left foot steps in a row. Can't really practice alone because I don't know how much to step back. Plus with an opponent, you have to adjust your timing with theirs. Hmm, maybe this is why I can't get it right. My own timing is probably a bit too slow, so when I'm against an opponent, I have to rush it and thus mess up the timing.... going away to practice alone...
Well... after I finish this post. Not much more to say though really. Just followed kata practice with some kirikaeshi and then the class split in half (seniors/juniors). I was aching to join the juniors and take it easy, but something inside told me to just do it and stay with the seniors. Hmmm... why why why?
Did some uchikomi geiko first up. 5 cuts each. 6 cuts each. 7 cuts each. 8 cuts each. Sempai: 'OK... now 9 cuts each!'.... my cuts were quite pathetic. Need to learn how to focus when I'm tired... really tired. I should try to get a video of myself when I'm in this state too. I wanna see my technique at its rawest, ie. when I'm totally not thinking about it because I'm dead tired. Anyway, this was followed by jigeiko. Got my ass kicked. Don't think I scored any good cuts. I tried to keep my spirits up though trying to relax and conserve energy for my cuts. Didn't try too many cuts either. Tried to bide my time and create openings. Don't think I was too successful though. I wish I can reflect upon it more, but can't seem to remember too much about it. Ah well.
Was going to try and wake up early enough for tomorrows morning training, but I'm going rock climbing in the evening. Better save my energy. Might try to go next week. Most people should be busy studying for exams so I might get some concentrated help from my sempais. Until then...
