Test Rehearsal

Note:
Class of 4. 10th kyu test rehearsal. What's not New here is that Test is super tiring, and I get tired by the time I get to Kihon Dosa, and I dont know how I have done it Hiriki no Yosei-1 having such muscle pain all around my body.

Test it tough...

Note:

Class of 3.

My hands were even sweating during the hard Kihon Dosa! Of course, my knees and thighs were crying...

Tai no Henko-1: Tried to move forward up to the line ahead. Its a bit hard to come back not losing control but it was fairly all right.

Tai no Henko-2: I may be pivoting too much, tried to adjust it to 95 degree but was not easy.
also tried not to stay in the center, and it made me come up...also worked on the crispness, thats hard to keep in balanced.

Hiriki no Yosei-1: This is the worst, the hardest, especially doing it right after Tai no Henko-2...Knee's already crying, and its just hard to make body move in that condition.

Hirki no Yosei-2: This is difficult, just so. I feel like I come up everytime I try to make the turn.
Also, I thought for the first time during the test last week that it was bizarre to show your back whoever you are opposed to when you get ready to the "Yoi" position.

Everytime I do it, I see things to work on, I see the point I can not push any further...

30 mins of Shumatsu Dosa...felt drops of sweat coming down on my face, neck...
one drop came down on my nose SOMEHOW got INTO my NOSE!
HOW? HOW? HOW?
It was not exactly a pleasant feeling but it was sure funny : )

Sensei just did not stop us doing Shumatsu Dosa ( he was doing it with us, so it was a fair call), and it went to 30 mins. We used the same method for test training on the second half of the class. Repetition is not the ONLY way, but it sure works to figure things out by doing the same thing in different ways or even the same ways.
