Judo adventures - Class 07

[yuuago]

Today, R showed up; he was at the first and second classes, but hadn't been able to make it since. There was S also, who I hadn't met before because he was away out of town until this point. Nice guys. They're both high-level, so I didn't get much interaction with them.

Odd number of people today. I was hoping L would show up so we could pair off properly, but no dice. Ended up having to alternate with K and J. That isn't bad - I like watching, especially when J is the one throwing; he moves so fast! It's really impressive. But it's harder to make sure everyone gets an equal amount of practice that way. Next time this happens, I'll make more effort to keep track of who's doing what how many times, because I don't think any of the three of us were really counting. ;p

Today was grip breaking, throws, and then a grip break + throw combination. Was kind of off my game, partially due to the alternating. It's hard to learn proper form and work up to fluid movements when you get less time to work directly. But we all did all right, I think.

Somehow managed to end up with mat burn on top of my feet. Not sure how that happened.

I overdid my workout yesterday, and that caused me some problems today (a bit of stiffness, mostly trivial but annoying). Going to have to make a note to... not... do that in the future. Yeah. And maybe take it easy tomorrow? (I'll try.)
