Saturday 20th July
Training tonight was great. Did Sanchin for a whole hour with Sensei on my back the whole time. Was getting me to concentrate on keeping my shoulder down as I push my hands out. Easy to do with one hand / arm, but bloody difficult when do both hands at once. Toward the end of the session I could occasionally feel my lats and my traps engaging which led to my back pushing my arms out. When my lats weren't engaged then it was just the arms pushing.
Sensei mentioned, and I agree 100%, that higher dan grades should be able to do this. I need to get my sanchin better. He also mentioned (jokingly) how embarrassing it would be for him, if I were to go to the summer camp and Higaonna sensei questioned him on my poor form.
