Note to lizard brain: fuck off.

serindeThe subtle ploy this month was "well, you know you're too dumb to get off the mat when you're overheating, so it's probably better if you don't go when the heat & humidity are way up." Which is true as far as it goes, except that in NYC, those conditions are true some 2/3 of the summer. (Fecking rotten climate.) Like, most of the last two weeks. This extended period of non-practicing leads to a twitchy, irritable, and lethargic pooky.
Finally realized what was going on and determined to go any day there isn't an actual X-TREEM H34T advisory (like yesterday), because it didn't bloody well kill me the last two summers when I was in worse physical shape so why should it now? And, in fact, I survived today--90 deg. but low humidity for a change--in very good order. Up yours with gun and camera, lizard.
Today, we put some time in on one of those entertaining techniques where uke suddenly becomes nage in mid-stream. I like having those included, as it ups the real-world-applicability factor a bit. Also a variation on the usual arm bar-into-forward-roll throw (Harvard glossary suggests "tenbinage"?), out of gyaku katatetori, which involved moving your back foot first. This is not unlike trying to write by looking in a mirror...left-handed. I finally sussed what the idea was, or I think I did, but didn't get another chance as nage before we finished. Bah.
