Mr. KKawa taught me a new type of drill this past Saturday. Whenever I am to do fast men basic practice, he told me to take a semme forward, wait for the opponent to show opening, and then strike immediately. The first time I did it, he told me it wasn’t good enough because my semme was only a step forward, there was no energy forward. I tried it again and again, I think I gotten better at it… However, Mr. KK still thinks that I have yet to understand the concept of it. He said that at the level of 3-4 Dan, one should not only know how to hit, but also understand when to hit and the concept of semme. This similar notion has been mentioned before by Mr. SMura before, basically he said something like,” knowing how to hit is not enough!”.
My health hasn’t been well in the past week. Perhaps it’s the weather, perhaps it’s work, perhaps it was other things… I decided to go to practice on Saturday and use whatever energy I had that day. Surprisingly I didn’t do as badly as I thought I would. Perhaps because I realized that I didn’t have too much energy to begin with, thus I wasn’t trying to conserve energy or anything like that, instead I just gave everything onto whatever opponent was in front of me at the time.
After practice though, I was spent! I couldn’t even wake up the next day and my joints still hurts until this moment.
