Monday’s (12/18/06) class was pretty decent. Nathaniel taught the class. We did a pretty good kata workout followed by self-defense oriented one-time attack type drills. He’s getting better at teaching. He’s still got a few issues, but he’s really improved over the last couple of teaching classes.

Thursday’s (12/21/06) class wasn’t. It was pretty much just a pizza party. Sensei had some pizza’s delivered and brought in a tape of the Discover Channel’s “Fight Science” special. It was a pretty good evening.

Last Saturday (12/23/06) I managed to squeeze in a Saturday morning workout with my old club. I just did kata the whole time. I stayed light, but tried to not stand around and talk (as I am known to do when with my old dojo mates). Surpisingly enough, vanirtjones showed up and wanted to go through the Matsubayashiryu kata with me, so I covered 17 of the 19 kata that I’ve managed to learn over the last year. It was good for me because it forced me to explain the movements to him; which made me realize what movement I don’t really understand yet. Funny how teaching does that to you.
