Friday, March 30, 2012 session at the Japan Information and Culture Centre hall

The two hour session began with warm up exercises followed by Mae and Ushiro Ukemi from Suwari Waza and the "knee torturing" Mae and Ushiro Shikko which this time had nothing on my knees!

Sensei had earlier sent his apologies as he was unwell and thus Daniel Sempai was in charge of the two hour session and it was all about:

-Ryote tori Tench Nage.

-Gyaku Hanmi Katatedori:Ikkyo(Omote) and Kokyu Nage.

-Kata dori Ikkyo(Omote)from both Tachi Waza and Suwari Waza.

-Shomen Uchi Ikkyo(Omote) from both Tachi Waza and Suwari Waza.

-Two versions of Kokyu Nage one of which is among my favourites involves locking Uke's elbow and turning the hips 180 degrees forcing Uke to perform an Ukemi or risk having his elbow broken.

-A version of an arm lock which eventually traps Uke's elbow on Tori's chest and the forearm is locked with Tori's arm.

Haishin Undo closed the two hour session and I look forward to more intense sessions ahead....

NEXT SESSION:MONDAY,APRIL 2 AT THE GOAN GYMKHANA.
