Training with joy
After we had worked meticulously through Yokomenuchi Shihonage Irimi for the past four training sessions (it’s great to be back to doing things at a beginner’s speed ^^), yesterday our teacher wanted us to forget everything about details and “technique” we had learned and simply allow our body to do what it thought was right, and have fun – or rather, “train with joy”. =) Although I usually have fun throughout the whole training anyway, it’s something completely different to consciously not think of technique but move in the flow. It felt… right, somehow. Moreover, it worked and it was really a lot of fun. =)
I also would like to try in our free training (training sessions just for exercising, no instructions) how my body reacts when it doesn’t know which attack Uke will use… we don’t know that many techniques yet, of course, but I’m very curious about what would happen… =)
