Tonight, I managed to make it to class for about the last 40 minutes. The class was paired up pretty well, so I decided to go to the side and practice kata for the night. My choice was Gankaku (translates to something about a Crane; opinions vary, so I won't go into that). I haven't done Gankaku in several years, so it was rather challenging for me. After about 2 iterations, sensei Kuehner came over and wanted to learn the kata, because of its similarities to the Shorinryu kata Chinto. I was only too happy to oblige,so we worked on Gankaku for about 40 minutes total.
