Sounds like a bad personals ad, but actually I took the day off and spent all afternoon in Honbu Dojo practicing. But of course because I skipped lunch and it was so hot, I had a pounding headache and couldn't practice too much. Which is a good thing because it was so hot in the dojo, and I had to teach at 7pm, I probably would have been useless.
Class went well; took our time going through all the basics, trying to figure out the right body mechanics of moving from the hips and not using the arms too much. Always interesting to teach beginners. They don't know anything, and so haven't developed and bad habits. Whatever you teach them, they have a hard time understanding but usually pick it up quickly, so to be a beginner and start training at Honbu early is a great chance to lock in a solid foundation. I'm jealous.
