Pointers;(1.) When doing yonkyo, keep your movements forward to give uke no time to counter. This means keeping uke occupied all the time, which is easier said than done.
(2.) In the same vein, the grip is important. First, you have no time to change grips, so make sure you hold tight. Next, hold very close to the wrist, just like you hold a sword. Uke's hand becomes the handle, while the part of the arm between the wrist and the elbow becomes the blade. (3.) Make sure uke's arm is vertical just before doing the cut. (4.) Make the cut decisive and convincing. In order to do this, you have to make sure that uke's elbow ends up pointing downwards. (5.) In regards to shomenuchi kokyuho, move in with your whole body, and keep your movements forward to avoid tripping uke on your knee. (6.) Lastly, the more relaxed you are, the easier the movements.
Techniques: gyakuhanmi katatedori yonkyo omote and ura, gyakuhanmi katadori kokyunage, gyakuhanmi katatedori katagatame, shomenuchi kokyunage, and ryotedori kokyunage omote.
Comments: To be very honest, I didn't manage to move my body correctly enough to do yonkyo. I think i have the motion in my head, but my body just doesn't respond appropriately.
Weapons(Jo); We reviewed what we did last time and added the last of the kesa techniques. I won't go into names since i am quite sure none of us remembers even a simple one like, say Kesa uchi no.1. Of course maki otoshi no.1 doesn't count because we have done it countless times for it to be permanently etched in our memories.
