The Korean all showed up today, which meant I didn't get any Sensei action, but my knuckles but got plenty of shinai action, to the point where I actually had to stop, but now it feels better, even without icing. The focus that Sensei had for us was mostly on kihon waza, but he already started the speeches about shinsa, probably because it's so close to when we come back from vacation and kagami biraki. So we did lots of men (closing in: shokujin, kojin, issoku-itto) nice and explosive sutemi style. Then we did some degote, some nuki-men, some kaeshi-kote/kaeshi-do. Kirikaeshi and kihon-men-kakarigeiko finished us off. A good, sweaty practice, and the focus on shinsa is nice, because it's something I needed to start working on earlier.
