today was so great. I love my classes and I love hanging out and I love watching Law and Order and I REALLY love my karate class. Today we had to kick people. I've never actually kicked anyone before (and by kick I mean like, kick in the stomach) and it feels really weird and disrespectful.
It's funny to think about the different ways that you control the force your body applies. All the angles and the different movements. It's amazing how twisting my shoulders just a few inches gives me so much more power and leverage to punch with. It's a different awareness I'm not really used to which is really cool.
Also, I am not used to the yelling. You have to yell when you attack people. It's to frighten and unsettle the person you're attacking. My yell, however, just sounds surprised and kind of scared. Like I've just been jumped on. Ironically. My favorite part is the gei, which is the uniform. It's ridiculously comfortable. I am going to stop posting now because I have 2 exams tomorrow and I want to study some more. Which is what I've been doing a lot of. I also really like studying.
