Mark was at class super early so we went over a lot of basics as quick as we could. Of course we forgot two areas which mess things up. The first was in the Oyo for Nifanshi. We forgot the second kick and then everything just gets messy. Later we spent a good ten minutes reconstructed the final moves of the Kyouku application. Not an auspicious return and with about 60 days to go. Yikes!
I did find out last night that after the confirmation we are allowed to have 6 months of "fun" before returning to the process of learning the 2nd degree material. I chatted with Daniel about his favorite weapons kata and thought I would request a Kama kata. I was hoping for something flashy, but it really depends on what they have available or if I can make my own. I'm not pro, but I'd like to see a lot of twirling. This guy has a pretty nice one:
I'm getting ahead of myself, but it's fun to look forward.
I spent most of the class judging the brown's practice their test materials. They have a huge amount of kata to remember with 40 bunkai. Yikes!
