Keeping it going.

So now we have Friday night, the first 'real' practice with everyone getting back from break.
5 in bogu, the returning 3 out of bogu of Chris, Matt and Jacob...three new members.
But still no sign of Mark.
We kept the momentum of the first two practices.. very brisk business-like basics.
Next the kihon-uchi...everyone took to heart the advice to always feel like we are attacking. As a result we got so much more done in so much less time, and also time for verbal corrections and demonstrations that we normally don't have as much time for.
Then spirited uchikomi with enough people in bogu that we could rotate the receivers to get everyone in the act.
And finally about 20min of jigeiko. Billy's getting better with his timing so I need to dial my jigeiko up a notch in order to keep him pushed.
What we need to do from this:
- Keep the practice pressure on in practice.
- Start Chris, Matt and Jacob wearing bogu.
- Integrate our brand new beginners with the rest of the practice.
- Get the paperwork done for membership, Detroit, and Testing.
- Get new officers and a Shinai order in..
- Collect the dues.
- Figure out if Mark's going to come back and get him involved.

2006 looks like a really good year.
