Yesterday's evening at the dojo consisted of learning the difference between the seitei waza Ipponme Mae, and the koryu waza Shohatto.
Life would be so much simpler had taking this up not occurred to me.
The differences might not even be obvious to the untrained eye, but when you're swinging your sword up by your head in one style, when you're supposed to be doing it in the other, or unsheathing the sword at the wrong angle, and the difference between the two is a matter of centimetres, your sensei sure notices. And he tells you.
I heard the word "no" a lot last night.
I was hoping the word 'no' had some other definition in Japanese than it does in English, but it does not.
