Notes for self

Lowell House on the Feast of St. Jude

Ahhh, I haven't been commenting lately because I've been sidelined by midterms and papers. Will probably try to catch up after the midterm on Monday?

Anyway, it's Alumni Weekend! Which means all the kendo club alumni come back for a visit. klio911 is here, as is the notorious Ken, Jesse, Hyun-sup, Frank and Jang, plus the usual triumvirate of Kofi, Chit and Jeff.

Two notes for self:
1. Left hand tends to turn outward when wearing kote, which is throwing my swing off-center. Noticed it today in practice and actually did a decent set of large men strikes when I fixed it. Actually, a part of the problem is that I have a giant hole in my kote, which is stretching the leather so that it's wrinkling under my grip. Need to ask armorer if I can change to a new set. Maybe I should just buy a new set of bogu already.
2. If you remember to "stick your stomach out", you actually don't lift your knee during fumikomi as much. Hahaha.

More on Alumni Weekend after it's over. (Practice at 9 AM tomorrow. Wonderful.)

Yours &c.

It was awesome seeing you! XD Yay! I hope you can come visit again sometime before Shoryuhai. ^_^ I felt I was stuck in a bit of a rut before this weekend, but I feel better about my kendo now (and hopefully it'll keep up for the rest of the year).
