One guy wouldn&#8217;t really make contact with my face too much. x_x; Well, it was our first time&#8230;I guess he&#8217;ll feel more comfortable punching me eventually.

Ran into Toda-san, who promised to help me drill stuff next Thursday. Yay! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p>I had a good day.  I&#8217;ve been slacking on my promise to myself to watch 10 minutes of technique videos a day. \ud83d\ude41  I&#8217;ll watch half an hour tomorrow&#8230;.it&#8217;s backing up!
