Note:

Class of 8, Kangeiko-Day 1, Shihonage...I hit my head again...with Sensei's Shihonage.
This became one of the traditions (which I want to stop...). Overall, I 'm not sure if I'm just not good taking uke on Shihonage, or I'm doing something not right... its not exactly fun to find out the same problem I have on the first day of Kan/Sho chugeiko...yet it continues until I get over it.

Although, I was able to spare a micro second to loose the tention from my shoulder before sensei's throw came in. I so hoped..this time something was different, yet I hit my head (quite hard) after all...so I guess it wasnt really changed much.

I learn from Senseis who are a lot taller than me. When their throws come strong, I easily lose my control and smash my body onto the mat. "Most" of the cases...I can stay in my Ukemi shape and dont get injured, but for certain techniques, I still can not shake the fear of falling/hitting the wrong place etc...off ...it blocks my moves from doing it any better. Shihonage is one, Ushironage is one...and for left side I have less control, those thougths unclears my mind and I end up doing something I should do...such as landing on my hand (which hurts!) from flipping was one I did today besides hitting my head.

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 : )
