Journal Entry 23MAR2009
Last week we leared the first forward shoulder roll. I had to correct the end position of my toes, but otherwise my (JJ) roll was fine, so I could help out the rest. I had to show how to do it repeatedly.
At the end I asked sensei if apart from my toes, everything was OK and he said show me again. So I rolled several times on each shoulder, from a kneeling position and a standing position. He then asked me to roll without using my arms. I did that too several times. That was OK too.
Only with all the rolling from standing position, I got vertigo. Combined with having eaten too late (circumstances) I wasn't feeling too well. But luckily that was the end of class.
I train basic kihon and tai sabaki at home twice per week so I am getting some routine in that as well. All in all, it's going rather well. So far so good.
