funny faces
Got to training REALLY early yesterday, it was only about 5pm but there were already people there. Every time I go to training I get this weird feeling that I'm gonna be the only one there. Kinda like the dream where you go to school naked, except here, I'm the only one going to training, in full keikogi and there's no other kendoka around.
Quite a small group training today. Less than 30 all up. Had an old sempai train last night who doesn't come often enough in my opinion. But really glad to see him back whenever he is at training. Always got useful advice to give. I saw him in the change rooms with a couple of the juniors, and he was correcting the way had their keikogi on... so I just quietly did the same hoping that no one noticed that I didn't do it right either. Apparently, the little 'tie' on the outside of the gi is supposed to be horizontal. I always had it kinda 45 degrees.
Anyway, training wasn't too vigorous cos I still felt like I had heaps more energy to expend. Just did the usual kirikaeshi, kihon and uchikomi. Had quite a few rounds of the uchikomi but I still had heaps in the tank. I should be motadachi so that I get more of a work out. They get to uchikomi, kakari and aikakari! Anyway, after this we just did kata. I know the first 5 now. Did it with X who I'd never done kata with before. Man I was trying soooo hard to not crack up and laugh. His serious face is sooo funny. Its kinda quite serious, though it also looks cute at the same time, hahahaha. Man, that was priceless. He didn't know kata 5 so I taught him, its quite easy. With the other kata, I'm still have issues with distancing. Especially kata 3 and 4. At the end of it, we all did it formally, shomeni rei.... then nervous giggle broke out into laughter. Man I felt like such a dick, hehe, but the look on his face!!! mental note, never do kata with him again! I managed to compose myself and get through it.

who's that? :D Me and russell got into a laughing fit at camp during kata and we just CANNOT stop...I dunno why's that, but everytime we look into each other's face, no matter how hard we grit our teeth and lips.....we just burst into laughter!
Haha, somehow this comment slipped through the radar. Yeah, it was Russel. His face during kata is just priceless.
