So today Sensei took matters into his own hands, and actually taught us some specific waza, which is somewhat out of character, as usually he focuses on endurance and feeling and kihon, rather than the tricky left-hand-fowrard, but right-hand stays in place men and kote sashi-waza, plus gyaku-do, which seems like an odd thing to teach beginners, and I never quite got the feeling for it. Madame Sensei also returned, though she seemed a little out of sorts, not really joining us too much in practice and then in jigeiko I felt pretty good and in control with most of my opponents, even Sensei himself, off of whom I probably scored the most points today than ever. I should really do my best to keep up my kiai, as it really is an intimidating thing sometimes. I guess as much as I appreciate learning new waza, I would much rather just do more and more jigeiko and this point, though I haven't been neglecting suburi, shooting for at least 300 every off day from practice.
