serindeI haven't posted much about aikido in the last while, I know. This is not because I'm not going--well, I haven't been won a gold star for attendance over the summer, but I am going--and more because I haven't really had a lot to say. My skill is improving in small ways, but I'm a bit plateaued out; and also the new lizard brain tactic is to try and tell me it's boring. E.g., "oh look, morotetori AGAIN, how thrilling, what time is it?". This vexes me and although, by the end of class, I feel good and energetic and relaxed and even somewhat serene at times, it colors my desire to write out my thoughts.
I'm definitely rusty this week, not having gone at all last week on account of X-TREEM heat (over 100 is just ridiculous), and the week before having been patchy for various reasons. But today was a pleasing workout, not too easy and not too crazy, and I'm smug about a lot of rolling correctly out of jujinage. I'm not saying I'm completely sanguine about it, or any of the others where my arms are locked up when I start to roll, but palpable progress, yes.
