Tired and aching
Yesterday I took part in The North of England Open, hosted by the Yorkshire and Humberside Area. While it was a point scoring event, my opponents were 1st dans, so no way I could score points of them (being a 2nd dan myself). So I used the event to experiment a bit with technique I've been playing with in the club randori.
Scored a waza-ari from yoko kata guruma otoshi and an ippon from a left ryo hiza seoi otoshi (to use Roy Inman's parlance!) so quite happy with myself. The kata guruma was turned to ippon by way of a pin later in the match.
Lost 1 of my three matches meaning silver medal. So not a bad result, but more importantly the stuff I've been practising is paying off :)
