Last weekend was seminar weekend, our dojo's annual spring seminar with Berthiaume-Sensei of Montreal. It was amazing, and you can tell because I can barely move now! Legs, arms, neck, they all hurt. In a beautiful sort of way

Psh. I get tai no henko bruises all the time because my wrists are so tiny.

Also, I loooooooooooooove reversals! Sensei taught us a few out of tai no henko and sankyo, which were awesome fun times. <3

Hee! The reason my bruise is special (besides it being a YONKYO bruise, we never do yonkyo) is that I almost never visibly bruise. When aerlalaith were beginning together, we'd both get to school the day after class and she'd go, "ELLEN. Look at these ridiculous bruises! This one is from Brehan when we did kotegaeshi. This one is from Sean when we did sankyo. This one . . ." but I never got them! Which was very D: in a weird way.

Oh man, reversals are awesome. I should write about last Monday's class in a separate entry. It was amazing.

We should hang out soon and compare seminars. :D

"Here's the spinny ikkyo opening!" "Ooh! here's the nonstop spinning of uchi kaiten nage ura!" "I should also show you the shiho nage -> kotegaeshi -> irimi nage flowing thingy!" "Oh God, we are SO dizzy. X-\" ::both collapse:: It'll be awesome!

WE SHOULD, YES. I will totally show you the flowy thing! If I can remember the entry, lol. I probably will, it wasn't actually that complicated once I figured it out.

Dear Ellen,

How are you so hardcore.
