Believe (extras)

A couple of things I forgot to mention in the previous blog.

After the morning training, I'd changed in the mens room, and went back upstairs to see that everyone had pretty much just changed on the basketball court. Anyway, I saw Alex kinda leaning over with his ass out so I decided to give it a good kick (think Jim Carrey, Ace Ventura, 'going downtown') hehe, or so I thought. I tried to run away after I'd kicked him but he chased me down and gave me my first lesson in muay thai. Quite embarrassing whilst everyone was watching... Damn, need to kick his ass in kendo!

Also, After mokuso and rei, I went up to Ben sensei to thank him for jigeiko. I diligently waited as others thanked him and he gave them advice. When it was my turn, it was basically, 'domo arigato gozaimashitta. You're doing very well'. Hmm, no advice??? I noticed Yakov sensei did the same thing on wednesday. Hmm, I can't be that good that I don't need advice! I was hoping for some pointers on perhaps what my weaknesses were or something like that... but nothing. Surely I can't either be completelyl hopeless or too good that it doesn't warrant some useful advice. Anyway, I usually get some tips from other sempais after I have jigeiko with them. Hopefully I can spar with either sensei again real soon... and hope...
