Karate was fun today. Instructor introduced the term 'uke' to the class ("it is important for the uke to react to his partner's moves..."). I caught [livejournal.com profile] deralte's eye from the other side of the room and we both grinned. Anime geeks; really!

A very good lesson in general though. The teacher really got the idea of smooth, dynamic movement across very well; just with a difference in stance, I found myself able to do a technique at literally twice the speed I was doing it at last week. Bam-bam-BAM! Excellent. Although thanks to a rather overenthusiastic partner, I expect to be developing some pretty bruise patterns around about the base of my rib cage.   8^[
'DHAKA (Reuters) - Hundreds of conservative Bangladeshi Muslims have staged a demonstration in the capital, protesting the country's first women's soccer league.

"The national sport council will be put under siege for an indefinite period from Saturday if the satanic women's football league is not abandoned immediately," Moulana Abdur Rashid, deputy chief of the Islamic Constitution Movement, told a rally of about 500 activists.'
