Had a good session tonight with my Pokemons. (^^) They're getting used to the new style of maikng a circle vice lining up. It appears they like the circle more than the lines. (^^) I really like the idea that we all can see each others faces.
今日もポケモン達といい時間を過ごした。整列でなく円に集合する仕方が少しずつ様になったきたようだ。子供達も円の方が良いみたいだ。みんながお互いの顔が見えるのがいいね。（＾＾）
円で集合。The circle formation.不思議な事に列より素直に並ぶ。
An interesting thing, the kids get in formation quicker and better than the rows! (^^)
Today we focused on Jodan Uke and its application so that the kids can get a better understanding of the block. But more imortant it was a good way to reinforce the teaching of Jita Kyoei! Together they improve! It has to be a cooperative effort. One slacks off then both do not improve. The attacker has to attack properly with the correct technique so that the blocker can block properly. This is when one of my rare thunderbolts came down on the Pokemons! (^^)
今日は上段受けに集中。子供達が技をもっと理解為もあったが、もっと大事なのは自他共栄の精神を学ぶ事だった。一緒に上達する。お互いの協力があって上手くなる。一人がいい加減にやると二人とも進歩が無い。攻撃方は性格な技で攻撃するそれを受け方は正確な受けで対応する。それで進歩する。ここでめったに出ない雷が落ちた！（＾＾）がはははは。
やちよと受け技の応用を子供達に説明。何時も空受けや空突きでは技の理解が育たない。受け返しも行った。
Yachiyo and I then demonstrated one of the applications for the Jodan Uke. Punching and Blocking in the air is not enough to get the children to understand the technique. Yakusoku kumite is a vital part of training. Block and counters are important as well.
Once in a while it does the soul good to take a hike into nature. Listening to the wind, the chirping of birds, the gurgling of the creek, the smell of wild orchids. The air is so fresh in the forest.

The birds were singing today! (^^)
