Like is customary with most Fridays,Mae and Ushiro Ukemi in both Suwari Waza and Tachi Waza set the ball rolling and all was well until Sensei mentioned the word 'Gyaku Ukemi' and it was interesting to note how each one of us was struggling in their own way trying to figure out how to perform Gyaku Ukemi and for me the main challenge was turning my head away from the hand that was forward.
The techniques that featured during the two hour sweaty session were:
-Ryotedori Kiri Otoshi.
-Shomen Uchi Sumi Otoshi.
-Shomen Uchi Irimi Nage(three versions).
-Yokomen Uchi Shiho Nage(Omote and Ura) and any other technique we could execute from this attack.
-Gyaku Hanmi Katatedori Tenchi Nage.
-A version of a throw from a Shomen Uchi attack whereby Tori would intercept the Shomen before it came down then grab Uke's arm and distabilise him before throwing him down with a throw.
Shomen Uchi is usually quite a challenge for me especially the sliding movement and controlling Uke's elbow.
