Today was a day of Sochin. I was joined by my comrades Garls-san and Erbe-san for sections of my 25 kata.
I learned some important lessons today. I took the kata and slowed it down again, taking the time to focus on correct stance and keeping my butt tight and under me. I focused on keeping the upper movements light and correct, but focused on my center.
It provided some of the best kata that I’ve done so far. Mike-san made a valid observation that I was tensing too much when transitioning to the last high/low strikes (right before the crescent kick). Relaxing my upper body and allowing that to flow a bit more made that particular move sing.
Also, I don’t know why, but I was reminded of a certain venerial disease this morning… I sure can’t put my finger on why though. 🙂
(For the record, this comment will likely cause the abrupt end to my life and potentially the lives of those mentioned above. It has been great knowning you all.)
