Bujinkan tonight was nice. My partner was a bit neurotic, and I had at least two scares where he nearly broke my arm and leg respectively (training with beginners is scary), but other than that, it was mostly me trying to get him to do a proper uregyaku on me. Since I'm so flexible (even my wrists, oddly enough) you have to do things like that near perfectly to get me down, and he just couldn't seem to get it through his head. I got some training in and Jack only obliquely implied I was using too much force, which is better than saying it right out, I guess. Josh wasn't there so while I do have some new bruises, they're all from my partner's newbieness (well, one is from Jack digging his thumb into the skin right next to my bruise from Wendsday, which was just luck on his part, but it hurt a lot more than it should have because of that).
