Tonight I barely made it on time, and felt a little "weak" throughout, although I guess I was able to pour it on when it came to pratice against newly-godan Sensei and Regular Sensei--still, I'm told to work on kote-men especially, the relaxation and rhythm after landing kote rather than getting all tense and hopeless. My kote still needs to be more determined. Still, I was complimented for being very aggressive and present today. I just need to stop lingering in "no-man's land," closer than chika-ma, after the strike.

Dealing with kohai, however, continues to be difficult... Maybe my debana-waza is just off, though.
