With Friday fast approaching,this week will be a tense one for me since next Friday both Jason I shall be grading for Nikyu and Sankyu respectively and I was out to benefit from both this Monday's and next Wednesday's classes.
It all began with Mae and Ushiro Ukemi from Suwari Waza and as usual the venue's surface claimed some 'victims' while performing Ukemi but I guess some of us are getting used to the hard surface....
Some of the techniques and attacks were as follows:
-Ryote dori Nikyo(what some of us refer to as 'double nikyo').
-Gyaku Hanmi Katatedori Kokyu Nage-the same Kokyu Nage version that Sensei introduced to us last week which gets me confused at times especially the part where Tori 'bumps' into Uke.
-Various versions of Koshi Nage but concentrating mainly on the Ai Hanmi Katatedori version.
-Shomen Uchi Irimi Nage with Sensei demonstrating a different version of it whereby Tori performs Irimi Nage without any steps.
-Yokomen Uchi Shiho Nage Ura.
I am sure I must have left out some information but all in all it was an action packed session and Sensei stressed again the importance of being vigilant and whenever Tori makes a mistake while executing a technique,it is upon Uke to point it out to him so that he can learn and improve on it the next time.
NEXT SESSION:WEDNESDAY, MAY 23 AT THE GOAN GYMKHANA(WEAPONS:JO & IAIDO).

how much are classes to obtain one kyu rank?
it depends on many factors, but the most talented people i have seen studying under good teachers managed to get to 1st kyu / shodan within 3 years.
but that was 3h daily 4-5 times a week for 3 years
