Shomen Uchi Shihonage

Note:
Class of 5. So much to do, but so little you can move in this heat! Summer is tough...you get covered with your own AND your partner's sweat...dogi soaked...mat gets slippery, you body wears down very quickly...what you are able to keep in that condition? Not many... so you have to choose what to drop and what to keep. Kamae, focus, kiai...keeps you in control, mostly from you mind, I think.

This is really hard...but you find "something" if you train through it when the heat goes away...or I hope : )

John's test trainig with Stumpy

Kihon dosa with partner

Techniques from the whole list of his test.

Note: I had a good day : )
I was able to keep my kamae without trying too hard for the whole hour. Still, Ikkajo 2 meant like nothing...still it was a good hour to not to lose something (especially kamae!)

Saturday 18:15, July 19 2008

Technique after technique...

Back breakfalls (40)

Ikkajo 1&2 (Shomen Uchi/Suwari, Yokomen Uchi/Suwari)
Shihonage (Hanmi Handachi Ryote Mochi, Shomen Uchi)
Sankajo 1&2 (Ushiro Ryote Mochi)
Kotegaeshi (Suwariwaza Yokomen Uchi 1 & 2, Kagari geiko)

Note:
Class of 4, kept on technique after technique, stopped every so often for questions/thoughts.
We all got sweat like stupid, did not have time to think much else.

Training with big people gives me only the fine line/spot can make the techniques to work, need to be much much more precise.

Friday 19:00, July 18 2008

Shomen Tsuki

Techniques:

Shomen Tsuki Hijishime
Suwariwaza Shomen Tsuki Hijishime
Shomen Tsuki Kotegaeshi
Shomen Tsuki Hijiate Kokyunage1 & 2

Note:
I got bruised with Hijishime on the knee...Sensei's Hijishime was quick..could not take a good uke.

In Suwari, (or even in tachi) I can never get Hijishime...Sensei told me my hips are not low enough...oh...that makes sense!

Hijiate Kokyunage demo, Sensei threw me with a great speed, I was very comfortable just going with the speed, did not have to worry about my elbow to be taken...yet one he got me a big deeper and worried about my elbow and stopped the throw when I was in the air...my body was left out in the air lost the direction...I was thrown away...a lesson learned that the circle has to go all the way to make the circle : )

Shomen Uchi Kotegaeshi-1
Suwariwaza Shomen Uchi Kotegaeshi-1
Shomen Uchi Kotegaeshi-2
Suwariwaza Shomen Uchi Kotegaeshi-2

Yokomen Uchi Kotegaeshi-1
Ushirowaza Ryote Mochi Kotegaeshi-2

Note:
Class of 4, all about Kotegaeshi.

I could not turn around (the part to get into Hiriki no Yosei-2) without coming up, I think I was not getting turning around knee spiral quite right...hips were not stable enough to do it either.

I like Koteageshi-2, it flows itself...but 1 is hard...I finally realized that I dont understand 1 at all...
