Karate on Friday night was good. For various reasons there was just three of us (including sensei), so we got some in depth practice.
We were concentrating on someone grabbing your wrists, and the fact that if you turned your hips, you could off-balance them. If you used your arms, nothing happened, but if you relaxed your arms, and kept a strong stomach, when they grabbed, it only took a sllight movement to send them on their way.
Reminded me of Bruce Lee's quotes about being like water and flowing, and that trees that are rigid break when a force is applied, whereas saplings that bend in the breeze wont.
Quite a zen-like class.
