I lost the first version of this post, but it's appropriate because I ended up losing my original advice which various sensei gave me today, which was a great Sunday special. Sunday sensei told me to do something which I promptly forgot, probably to go straight, although that's definitely what visiting Godan sensei told me--to come in straight rather than all that twisty-waza. Not-so-newly Godan Sensei, though, definitely told me to relax a bit more and to project more of my power through my wrists and palms rather than my arms: my seme is coming along.

My knee still hurts me, though. More ice and compression would be good.

Also, somehow, the US beat Japan in the semis, and then Korea beat the US--so we have new world champions...
