So because we had to cleanup after, this night's practice was accelerated, which meant straight from warmup into mensuke, followed by kirikaeshi four times, men x5 x2, kote-men x5 x3, and then four consecutive kakarigeikos!, which meant that the 90 minutes was split evenly between "kihon" and jigeiko. Exhausting, with people dropping like flies, but deeply satisfying. A shame it's the last practice of the year. I'll be jonesing for a while yet.

Kind of not enthused to be headed out to Flushing tomorrow, as I'd rather spend that time in my office catching up on projective geometry and technical analysis. But what can you do?
