Three new students?

Yesterday, three women visited us for a test training. The situation made me realize how fast you grow used to an environment and how easy it is to be unsettled by small changes, e.g. when someone new takes part in the training.

But apart from a slight feeling of uneasiness, it was interesting to try a technique (in this case katate tori ikkyo where the attacker grabs the same-side arm and gets joint-locked) with someone who does not yet know what to expect. You really get a much clearer, more direct feedback.

Otherwise, not much happened out of the ordinary… well, except for one thing, perhaps: one student managed her first roll from a standing position, and her joy was just so nice to watch. =)
