Monday Night at the Dojo 7/17

Attendees: Keith, Stanley, Robert, and Sheila.

Ukemi: Working well this evening. Twisting on the left side.

The Walk: ok.

Got a late start waiting for Randy to show up, then we remembered he wasn't going to be there, so Keith was in charge.

Worked with Stanley on the releases.

Worked with Robert on Hiki Taoshi, technique #8. He and Keith were amazed at the progress I made on it in just one evening. After tore-ing for a while, I uke'd for Robert on the same technique. It took a while, but he adjusted to my height. We then tried Ushiro-ate a couple of times. For the same reason: adjust to the massive height differential.

Aftermath: Lawdy, it's hot! It was probably 85 degrees and 85% humidity when I walked out of hte dojo at 9:30 pm. Other than that, just a slight tingling in the left arm. Still waiting for the green belt to arrive.
