Note:
Class of 5. So much to do, but so little you can move in this heat! Summer is tough...you get covered with your own AND your partner's sweat...dogi soaked...mat gets slippery, you body wears down very quickly...what you are able to keep in that condition? Not many... so you have to choose what to drop and what to keep. Kamae, focus, kiai...keeps you in control, mostly from you mind, I think.

This is really hard...but you find "something" if you train through it when the heat goes away...or I hope : )
