Note:
Class of 2, Stumpy's test training.

I realize that I still move as I imagining where uke to be, instead of where uke is. Those times, I'm just making the movements, and techniques dont happen.

Trying to focus on Keeping Back Leg Straight, straighter than I think its straight...I got a feeling to make Tai no Henko-1 much stronger and stable as I can keep the backlegs straight, yet its hard to keep it all way through the technique and cant feel the strong back leg at all.

I reminded myself everytime when I was in kamae during this class but the next moment I remembered was when I was back in kamae...

I can't help thinking I'm losing my knee forward in motion. My hips are way too high and body is open as I make the turn...so the techniques get very very weak, as I try to make it stable and stronger, my shoulder get tensed...

Luckily, I am not afraid of hitting the mat hard when I'm thrown, there are certain techniques I cant take uke right...which involves height. The ones my hips are supposed to go higher than my hip level, I still dont know how to make it happen with my wimpy flips. Being very short is not helping at all on this one, but there must a way to get over that height.
