Stumpy's Flip Seminar

Jiyuwaza Practice

Note:
Class of 2.

Great discovery, Two great discoveries.
1) Dont look down the mat when you flip
2) Dont try anything but to attach as Uke

Amazed by the fact it made our flips 3 times ligher when we started NOT to look down on the mat!!!

What I am supposed to do is "attacking" not flip out, flipping out is an escape for not to get hurt.

341:Thursday 5:45 : November 9, 2006

I was lonely again... so I worked on the basic stuff : )

Hope to see everyone back very soon!

339:Wednesday 5:45 : November 8, 2006

I was lonely...

However, I was feeling much much better so I could have started training which made me feel even better : )



Note:
Stumpy got even sicker...how sad...and I assume others who are in town are not well either, otherwise, they would be training!!

Anyway, I spent a quality time alone on the mat, working on some basic stuff. I have been carring some soreness at the bottom of my hip for days...its quite a bother when I do warm ups...I dont know how I did it, yet am surprised the pain is staying for a long time.

Winter is on its way, and it gets quite cool in the early mornings. Although, Kihon dosa gives drops of sweat ; ) Kihon Dosa never gets easier, does it?
