Little Sleep

I got very little sleep last night. I worked at a fairly intense level at yesterday's practice and by the time I got to bed the pain and muscle fatigue had really set in. I just can't sleep when I feel that way. This morning my knees were killing me - still are, and the deep red marks around my wrists and forearms are a testament to last night's workout.

There was one technique that I still don't remember the name of, but we practiced from a katatedori wrist grab, gyakuhanmi where we ended up pushing uke's elbow directly back at uke and up, and then throwing uke away with the same elbow. It was a strange technique. I'm tired, but feeling good.

And in regard to yesterday's post, sad and pathetic are the only words I can use for that person's life. I know it sounds like I'm dwelling or whatever, but working past it has opened my eyes to what I was previously blind to. The connection here is that letting go has been a really good thing. I'm happier now than I have been in a very long time.

And that is now enough of that.
