Back From Plague

I haven't posted here in a while, mainly because I was out for a week
with the cold that has been going around, but finally I'm getting back
into the swing of things.

Last week I went to Thursday evening and Friday morning classes and got
a double dose of jo work. In Thursday class, Andy is working on jo
techniques in the style of Chiba Sensei, currently working on the kata
called Sansho. In Friday AM we are working on the 31 step kata from
Saito Sensei.

I really enjoy weapons training, or as we say here in the south, "I sho
nuff love that steeick fightin'!"

Tonight is Sarah's 3rd kyu test and afterward dojo cleanup in
preparation for a seminar in 2 weeks. Good luck to Sarah tonight!
