Mid night training

A sudden urge.

Perhaps the Kata of Shitoryu and the kata of Shotokan may be somewhat similar, but there is a big different that I realize today, in the kata of Basaidai, between this two variation.
In my previous post, i mention about the upper arm being painful.
I guess I know the reason now. It is the Basaidai.
In shitoryu, the movement requires a lot of twisting, not only from the forearm (which i am more used to), it requires a fair lot of twisting of the upper arm as well. Surprisingly, my upper arms' muslce are not well trained. A few time of repetition, my arm felt like toring apart.

It is obvious, more practice is required.
