Having Sammy conduct the class took me back to 2012-the dark days as I prefer to call them.
It was good to be back in the dojo.
There are a number of regular beginners-two of them now have gis which is a sign of commitment.
The warm up session took 65 minutes so we were all sweating by the time we were done.
Sammy is fitter than most of us and there was a particular exercise-stretching the thigh muscles,that only he was able to do well.
Still,he encouraged the students to at least try even if one isn't able to execute it perfectly.
The remaining 40 minutes were a marathon as we rehearsed the moves Jason taught on Tuesday,
mainly Katatedori Sokumen Irimi Nage and Kote Gaeshi,
-Ai Hanmi Katatedori Irimi Nage Omote and Rokyo
Other techniques included Rokyo Gyakuhami Ikio Omote and Gyakuhami Ryotedori Kiri Otoshi.
Sammy kept insisting he's not a teacher and for a 'not teacher'he did a good job.
