For the first time this year I got hold of a Jo after quite a while and boy did I enjoy it!
The first hour Sensei took as through Mae Ukemi from both Suwari Waza and Tachi Waza and Ushiro Ukemi from Suwari Waza followed by the following techniques and attacks:
-Shomen Uchi Irimi Nage.
-Yokomen Uchi Kokyu Ho.
-Ryote Tori Ude Garami.
-A variant of Koshi Nage with the opneing being the one for Ryote Tori Ude Garami.
-A Shomen Uchi attack followed by a throw that compels Uke to perform an Ukemi.
Sensei also demonstrated a type of landing(not sure of the name)that we tried out with Nage being on Suwari Waza and Uke attacking Nage with both hands.
The second hour was dedicated to Jo sansho One and once again I had to remind myself of the second part of Jo Sansho One and I can see the bits and pieces finally coming together for me.....
It was time for Iai Batto-Ho and the techniques were from Shindo Munen Ryu and Sensei began from the twelfth to the eighth one in ascending order:
-Inazuma Gaeshi.
-Into.
-Yoto.
-Raito Gaeshi.
-Doto Gaeshi.
Great three hours I must admit!!!
Next Session:10 February at the Japan Information and Culture Centre hall.

The 'landing' you are refering to is the safest position to end up in when doing break-falls. Unfortunately the athleticism required for this makes it impossible to try on a hard floor. If you ever got the opportunity to practise in KU, then you might have been introduced to it. Anyway, this Friday promises to be a knee-breaker, right? Better put on your knee-guards people. lol! Can't wait to see what happens to those who show up in shorts...
Knee breaker?You are nt encouraging Daniel
