Tuesday training
Yesterday's training was held by Botond, as Attila could not come for some reason. We run a bit as a warm up, also stretched and did a quick series of basic hits and kicks. Also some kamae no kata and sabaki kata.
Then we got paired up again. I got together with one of the girls, Zsófi. She's a cool one, tough enough, I mean not a whinning pudding, but of course she does not like being beaten insane, as no normal individual would like that anyway.
Focus was given to sabaki and kuzushi. She did well although had some problmes with taking my balance. No surprise, usually I am the "bad gal" when it comes to working on kuzushi with me, as I am quite balanced and can easily adjust to any change. But I try to behave and be a good uke. Anyway, we practiced some stuff which ended up with a hit with the elbow on the chest. She dared not do it to me, and I was also kind of reluctant to do it to her, because of the obvious reasons, erhm. So I finished the technique another way. But she said that we should practice this particular technique with the guys, as they don't have "those". So we walked up to the 2 guys practising just next to us and each of us took one-one of them.
I got the 10kyu guy, who is kind of a feared person in the dojo. He is very stiff and tensed and generally a nervous type, at least he gets very nervous and wants to "prove" when practising with people with more experience, it seems. Also, it was him who splintered a soft hanbo on his fellow buyu's arm (the other guy is okay, no bone broke) a week ago. So I was a bit afraid of working with him but I accepted what was left to me.
As soon as we started up, he tried to do everything very quickly and with full force and stiffness (of course he screwed up). The faster he moved, the more I slowed down, so after a while he chilled down and started working with a normal speed and strength. Even this way I received a nice punch on my face as an uke, as he forgot that it was only training, so I bit my tounge, which makes eating is a bit painful now.
He is also very talented, but I think he will need to work more on his nervousness. But he was doing really fine with all the kihon happo and the henkas we made.
This time I left earlier cos I had to arrange some paperworks for the Tax Department. While sliding out from the dojo I swiftly left a bunch of red chocolate eggs on the bench for the guys as Easter present. Zsófi was kind enough to distribute it among them at the end of the training, and I've heard the birds chirping that the guys were happy :-)
Well, guys are the same everywhere... if nothing else works, you can always tame them with some chocolate... :-D
