I'm just going to relay some of today's happenings... Firstly, I've found the problem I'm having. In one of my previous moaning threads ( ) a couple of you said that I was probably just expecting too much - and I have to admit now that you're right. In today's kumite, I was paired with a 14 or so year old kid (and wahay! I can say 'kid' now! ). Now I could tell from yoi that he wasn't going to come within an inch of me with any technique. I was sure to make sure that I was coming very close to taking his head off with everything that I was doing, but ultimately I didn't have any pressure put on me, and I wasn't really having to work... One very good thing did come out of today though! We were doing a sort of 3 man kumite, where we stood in single file, about a stance of length between us. The person in the middle then had to defend and counter against attacks coming alternately from the person in front and behind, making sure to put themselves in an advantageous position for the second attack. So anyway, were at it for a little, when the person behind me came at me with a maegeri. I was very surprised to find that I automatically, without even beginning to think, went into a technique (hook under kicking leg, front leg sweeps attackers back leg whilst pushing/striking the shoulder - luckily I stopped myself before the other person went down onto very hard floor ) that I learnt at Steve's course in the summer! That made me very, very, very happy XD It took me a good half hour to realise what had happened XD Alex
