Uneventful.  Can’t remember much since I’m writing so late.  No injuries.

I think I really got the hang of this judo throw for the first time.  When you step in, this idea of “replacing uke’s feet with your own” really helped me to get it.  Can’t wait to try it live.

So far our instructor has been true to his words of “more judo this quarter.  I love it.
