So bonusgeiko is inherently great, but it's even better when I manage to squeeze in a nap before practice. I felt extra-crispy today as we were put through the condensed but concentrated rounds: mawari-ippon-shobu, kakari-geiko, men-taiatari-renzoku-men, and then shiai-geiko. Completely exhausting and yet at the same time invigorating. No real waza, and I still need to find a tokui-waza, though I feel as if my kote has improved greatly and isn't something to sneeze at, but I don't think it's my clutch waza. It was nice to play so much jigeiko, although I guess I do miss the kihon. I have been striving to use more men and avoid kote even in jigeiko, but I shouldn't neglect kote quite so much, while men-misete-kote might be something to play with as well. I'm told that my debana-men is of a good speed, but I need to make it much smaller and sharper, with my hands higher in zanshin--not bouncing up and showing how uncomitted my strike is, but rather going well over my opponent. Following through, following through--this is definitely something I need to work on, as I stop after even a good point.
