I'm pleased.
As I've mentioned before, I'm working on recovering my full proficiency with the various forms as they're taught in the Memphis dojo, and making sure I have a viable bunkai (interpretation) for every move in every form.
I'd been wanting something better than the incredibly obvious interpretation of one particular move -- a form of shuto, or what most people think of as the traditional Karate Chop. I had come up with one that I thought would be effective, and got to try it out at class tonight.
I barely tapped her for the final portion of the move... and saw her eyes start to roll back in her head and her knees go wobbly.
::puts a check-mark beside that one:: Yep, that worked! 8-)
