The Other Tuesday Sensei showed up tonight after a long absence, leading us through an hour of kihon, an hour of mawari, and then shiai-geiko. We who are on deck this weekend got two rounds. Others got one, or none. I didn't do so well, dropping a kote right up from sonkyo, and then not being able to pick up any points off of my new friendly Korean nemesis. My immediate sempai and I went at it for a while, and I made contact, but not crispily enough, and eventually he drew me in for two men. Don't be uchidachi!!!

Three more practices till shiai...
