So, quite a number of people showed up and this changed the course of events. I think some had gone out of Nairobi for one reason or another, but as one can imagine, most of those who have missed the action for a while had quite some catching up to do. For the benefit of those who were not there on Tuesday, we reviewed juji-garame. Then followed another whole range of techniques including yokomen-uchi shiho-nage, ryote-dori kote-gaeshi, ryote-dori shiho-nage. I honestly didn’t keep tabs on the names this time round, but whenever possible we did both ura and omote versions of the techniques.
Again a few pointers were added. One was stepping sideways when doing yokomen-uchi shiho-nage omote, as opposed to stepping backwards like we used to before. Others one just has to take advantage of them on the ground.
Of particular note was that there was no ken-jutsu, so some people were disappointed to have carried the bokkens and not use them. Next time guys!
