Teaching my regular classes at the Ross Farnsworth - East Valley YMCA.

We tried the rebreakable boards again tonight, but without much more success than we had last time. It’s unfortunate that we spend so much time “punching air” in class. If I couild find a way to build a makiwara at the YMCA, I wouild, but I’d have to find a way to make it portable so I could hide it away in the supply closet when class isn’t in session. If anyone has any ideas, I’d love to hear them.

Meanwhile, training is going well for the two new students in the adult class, and the experienced students in the adult class have generally agreed to stick arouind a few minutes after class to work on more advanced topics. Overall, things are going well.
