At the last training session before the holidays, it was customary for the children to be allowed to choose sports games that they would like to play. So it happened that suddenly a dad and I were standing there having changed our clothes and didn't really know what to do. Our sensei gave the children instructions and someone came our way:
“Get warm!”
Before we knew exactly what was going on, suddenly just the two of us were being trained by our sensei. I was even more excited than usual, had the feeling that I was acting even more clumsily and didn't know anything anymore because of the shock. Our sensei constantly corrected us and we were pointed out certain details again and again. He worked with us for an hour with great patience to help us understand the basics. In the end I was broken and at the same time so happy to have done it. An experience that I didn't appreciate until much later.
