  No warm-up! I don't know why this was missed. I think it is an important part of training; not only for the physical aspect, but it also gives people a chance to focus on the upcoming session. We went straight into lots and lots of men-uchi and kote-uchi; I think this was done for 3/4 of the whole session.
At the beginning, my cuts we all wrong; the kensen was all over the place and there was no ki-ken-tai-ichi; they didn't seem as crisp as I have done them before. Eventually, I loosened up a bit and things got a bit better. Well, the only good thing about not warming up at the start was that I had lots of energy for ji-geiko. I just kept going and going and going, and I felt full of energy. Because there wasn't any sensei at this session, I practiced seme against my peers. I'm becoming a bit more confident in my use of seme.
Of course, I'm only a beginner and I've a lot to learn about seme, and things often don't turn out the way I want to during ji-geiko, but I've noticed that I just feel more confident with the use of the kensen and the control of maai to apply pressure.
