Though Sensei is gone, we were nonetheless very crowded tonight, with an influx of Jerseyans, some of whom were quite good at scoring my men. I felt crowded out and quite ineffective. Tsuki-waza in particular I need to work on a lot more, and luckily I'm not a katate-tsuki sort of person, cuz that's even worse than normal morote-tsuki for me. And my kote-men has entirely gone to seed.

Still, it was interesting the new rotation of suburi-type exercises, including some real deadly lunge-suburi and squat-suburi, which were devastating. I really need to do something also about my pathetic hayasuburi--it's kind of embarassing at this stage to be hopping like a bunny so often.

Yeah--somehow tonight felt like a mediocre sweaty, maintenance practice, not one with many new insights or anything.
