generic status report
Jul. 3rd, 2007 02:04 pmI had various progress posts to make over the past several weeks, but they got lost in a flood of work duh and never saw the light of day. Suffice to say, then, that class has been overwhelmingly positive for the last while. I haven't been able to go as often as I would choose (how is this different from any other time period?) but when I have gone, it's been seriously good for me.
My ukemi is improving markedly after a practice with Ruth, who gave me a good deal of enlightenment. My extension of my space is improving markedly...well, some of it is due to help from others, but much is just from things falling into place. Confidence is generally increasing, in spite of this or that block I still run into (e.g., yesterday we were doing a particular throw which requires you to go down on the inside knee. I ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS go down on the outside knee instead, I don't know why. The hell of it is, it works fine that way too). Claire-sensei helps a lot with general advice and tips, and also she catches all the little goofs that I miss while concentrating on some other issue.
So, yes, a great goodness all around.
