Wheeee... Fun with tonfa...

[lordtariel]

I finaly got through Hamahiga No Tonfa(Tonfa Kata) this last Wedensday. Got a little suprise that Friday. Sensei said he wanted me to perform it at the demo the next day. Only issue was I learned the entire last third of the kata on wedensday and had only gone all the way through about twice that night. Well, I was lucky that I actually practiced between Wedensday and Friday(Don't always have time during the weekday to practice weapons) so I had kept it in my head. I managed to get through it with only a couple of mistakes. Sensei had taught me some drills previously so I just broke into the drill for a momemnt until I could remember what to do next. One of the guys said it was fairly seemless actually so I feel I lucked out. Fortunatly tonfa's such an obscure weapon that nobody noticed. On the plus side, I probably won't mess up on that spot again.

Sounds great! One thing is for sure: If you mess up in front of a crowd of non-martial artists, then you have nothing to fear, because they don't know what to watch for anyway!

Yes that's the best part.
