Note:
Class of 6. Series of Ayamochi Nikajo...I dont think I understand Nikajo at all, well so I keep training...the day may come!! ( I feel the same way, everytime!)

With Hijiate Kokyunage, I was trying to flip by jumping higher as I learned earlier, not really know if I could make any difference in day, yet an attempt was there.

We tried some Jujitsu style techniques which start from Kicking, I had no idea of "kicking" so I did not know what to expect. The first one was much more fun than it looked. Not much to do but big effect was lying on the mat before you knew it. It happened with the second one. I FELL! with my knee bending to the wrong way!! It made a funny sound and I could not figure out what happened to my knee for like 30 secs...Soon I was able to stand up, so nothing was broken was a good news : )

Next morning, I knew I was carrying an injury with the pain as I woke up! I did not know what's really happening for a little while not knowing what to do...soon I realized it will heal, I just needed to figure out what to do/ what not to do ; )

To deal with injuries: It was a good thing that I had decided not to be afraid of getting injured because it would always heal. I felt so much easier after deciding that and it helped /encouraged me a great deal to get over the fear esp. for Jiyuwaza. Now, this, which was on my (kinda) to do list, happend for real.

To get injured and heal must sound silly to have it on my to do list even for the martial art...however, it will become a fact if you do it, not only having in my mind. I am not exactly enjoying the pain itself but "kinda" enjoying the situation in a way after all. : )
