Friday, September 30, 2011 session at the Japan Information and Culture Centre hall

For starters,I would like to congratulate Tony,Bartek and Douglas for passing their kyu grading exams.

To set the day rolling,it was Mae Ukemi from both Suwari waza and Tachi waza followed by Hanmi handachi Kokyu nage.
Tai no Tenkan Ho prepared us for various Kokyu Nage techniques of which Ai Hanmi katate dori Kokyu Nage stood out for me.

Other techniques of the day were:
a)Shomen Uchi(Omote and Ura)
b)Ryokata dori Kokyu Nage(Omote and Ura)
c)Soto Kaiten Nage
d)Kata dori Kokyu Nage...Oh yes! There was Shomen Uchi Irimi Nage from Tachi Waza and then Uke ended up being pinned down in the Suwari Waza position-Wow!

The two hour session was crowned by Sensei presenting Tony with his Yonkyu certificate...awesome!

Hanmihandachi kokyunage? Something doesn't sound right to me...maybe shihonage? Again i can't imagine aihanmi katatedori kokyunage, what comes to mind is kokyuho...Then again, there is no technique called shomenuchi...Sammy, you are getting carried away and messing up with the names, i think. But upon reading all these names, am glad i can play them out in my mind, good job man.Also, congatulacje for all those who passed the examin. Keep practising. And this includes Bartek...
