Still training. Our class was small last night. I have been trying to recruit people into our class but without much luck. I suppose it is one of those things that you just have to let be. My ground skills are coming along, but sometimes I don't understand why my sensei asks me to do a holdown in a certain way. I like to do whatever I can to minimize effort but I am guessing that he is preparing me for people who will have better technique than the ones I am working with right now.

It could also be a quality not quantity type of thing. If the quality of what you know is top notch then there's no worry about the quantity of what you know since quality should win out. There was actually some sort of a judo proverb of sorts posted about this on the forum a while back in regards to a guy who only had one arm. I can't recall if it was actually true, but the sensei made him drill one throw over and over and over again. When he asked the sensei why he wasn't doing any other throws the sensei told him that it's because to counter that specific throw uke would need to be able to grip the arm that he didn't have. Do a search on it and see if you can find it...I think it was a year or so back if I'm not mistaken. Good luck in your training.
