Irimi Nage was the order of the day. We covered 3 variations all from Tachi Waza Ai Hanmi Katate Dori. Namely Gedan (high), Jodan (low), and Chudan (middle). Note that I might have mixed up the names but the main concepts of high, middle, and low remain.
With Irimi Nage, there are some key points to remember, ie
In addition, there was a technique that involved locking Uke's elbow while Uke is still grabbing onto Nage's wrist. This is in Gyaku Hanmi Katate Dori. The technique is then applied by pushing through the arm towards the shoulder; not in any circular movement just straight into the shoulder. As for it's name - not sure - but I'd gladly demonstrate :) By the way, we might have covered it before but from Hanmi Hadachi - it was 'demonstrated' on me - I doubt I'd forget :)
Like last week, with the Rokkyo and Nikyo, class ended with the opportunity to surprise Uke with the 3 forms of Irimi. I really enjoy this part of class as one gets to apply what was learnt during class. Having the option of a couple of techniques, it's interesting, at least for me, to develop the capability of feeling which technique to choose out of many, but more importantly instinctively.
Otherwise, enjoy your week - let's meet on Friday!
With Irimi Nage, there are some key points to remember, ie
- get Uke's head as close as possible to the inner shoulder and as soon as possible
- once Uke is on the ground, Nage is not meant to lift him back up. It is to Uke's advantage to get up as soon as possible, and this is when Nage uses Uke's momentum
- open Uke upwards; not the pushing through which always 'seems' easier
