Practice was rather deserted tonight, but that just meant that with my return after missing a practice I managed to practice with three sensei tonight, with varying levels of success, with a very pretty hiki-kote as the last 1pon shobu, although I went back so fast so far that I was wobbly at the very end. But there are still things I need to work on: two hands as one, heijoshin, not leaning forward before I strike, striking kote more determinedly, and hitting at a better depth in kakarigeiko. It's these sorts of things I need to do better and more consistently, to say nothing of hitting and going through all of the time, rather than mostly on men-uchi. But I must say that practice always lifts such a cloud from me, though today I felt better rested and happier than normal.
