My Monday class was canceled, so I actually made it to karate class early. And last night was fight night! I really need new sparring gear -- mine is lost in the attic or something. We did that thing where everyone forms a double line, spars with the person opposite them, and then switches off to fight the next person. Then we had point-fighting, and I won my bout.
(When I say that, I feel like Harriet Vane would have felt if one of the pawns had been modern -- "But I was facing a lower-ranking student, and I had a longer reach." It was close, though. One never knows when one's taking humility too far.)
Sensei was talking about the connection between fluidity and speed. Important stuff, especially as my stamina's no longer rock-bottom and I can start planning longer bursts of energy.
Took an online test last night. Taking another today. Tired. More later.
