Tonight was a real ass-kicker, led by Sensei himself. My cough didn't help matters, and neither did the humidity, and my perhaps over-hydration (68oz diet pepsi, 20oz diet coke, 0.5L Poland Spring), meant that for the first time in a while my back ached, my head was too tight, and I was not looking forward to the quintuple kakarigeiko designed to reinforce the lessons of tame yet again--through drills like men- turn and counter-men, and deliberate kirikaeshi. In any case, I got my ass kicked repeatedly. Sensei also is befuddled by my perpetual overtightness after every uchi--not enough tenouchi--he claims it might just be my personality.
