On Thursday I had my second lesson at Lindfield.

I enjoyed myself and I even found myself a little too relaxed on a couple of occasions. It was all taijutsu and I am a little sore in a couple of places, nothing to worry about.

Yesterday morning we helped a friend clean the bottom of his boat. Afterwards my lover offered to help me off with my suit, we have done this for each other many many times. I turned my back towards her and immediately started thinking of the next step, breaking down the SCUBA gear and packing it in the car. Yes within a minute I had forgotten she was helping me with my suit.

I felt the pressure on both my shoulders as she pulled the suit down to my arms. I reacted instinctively and moved back with the pressure and stood on her foot.

That's when I realized who it was and what she was doing. Luckily she's very understanding, though limping slightly!

Yesterday I had my first lesson at Lindfield.

What can I say, great!

We started with taijutsu, then defend with the bo against unarmed, defend with bo against a sword, defend with bo and short sword against a sword, then back to unarmed defence against unarmed.

It really was much better than Hornsby, very relaxed, smaller class and I actually felt the old skills start to come back.

A much better teaching style for me.

I attended my first class at Hornsby last night. The format for the classes has changed a lot since my time at Central!

The class was a little large, but I think an acceptable size.

My back is a little sore, which is not much of a worry, but strange since I have had little trouble with it recently and don't recall any problems with it during my previous training.

So far, so good!
