Yesterday only Stephan and Christin turned up. So I wasn't too excited about that. However, Stephan made us do very good exercises to improve our tenouchi, posture and maai. We spent most of our time hitting men in small movements (sashi) without going through, in order to concentrate on our posture and tenouchi. This is not easy at all. Then we practised renzoku-men all the way to the other end of the hall and back.
I found somehow since after X'mas I tend to raise my left heel too hight, which caused lots of strain on the big toe to bend. This needs to be corrected.. I find it good to start a new year with the exercise to for what many people might think small things, but in fact important, things.
At the end we did about 5-10 minutes jigeiko. Couldn't to much against Stephan, because his kamae is very hard to break. I need to also improve on reconising the chance to strike, probing with the kensen, and moving in with the right foot.
