Because our Kyle is getting ready for testing we started the blackbelt session with a review of his kata. We each got to give three observations. I'm not particularly good at this because I get caught up in trying to see all the details and can't back out to see the whole thing.
With that we started heavy work on Ni Pai Po. Even though we started on Monday, which I'll admit I wasn't very alert for due to lack of sleep, I assumed I would have retained something. However, nothing remained. I had to do each step over and over again and had to ask for help each time. Thank god everyone was patient because I was losing patience with myself. By the end of the session I had the first quarter back down.
After the BB session we went to regular class, which has become a rather small affair. We lost all of our new people and some of our others due to schedule. So there was four students last night. I love that now, but it makes me sad for the school generally speaking. We worked on NPP for the whole evening and I left generally feeling better about the whole thing.
Flash forward to this morning. I had another decent night of sleep, but I wanted to try NPP first thing and could only manage to get through the first quarter before failure. Sigh. Then I try KNPP (Koryu Ni Pai Po) and got all confused. I didn't have my phone with me to consult about the policy so I wasn't sure about where I got confused. That was aggravating. I ended doing a couple of other kata to console myself. Hah!
While you wait for my next riveting video here is a guy that does it crazy hard core.
