It was refreshing to see David back again after his maiden appearance last Monday and hopefully we shall be seeing more of him in the sessions to come.
This Monday was all about an Ai Hanmi Katatedori stance and after several Ushiro Ukemi from both Suwari and Tachi Waza Sensei took us through the following:
-Ai Hanmi Katatedori Irimi Nage;apart from the usual one we usually do,Sensei took us through two other versions-Tori bringing Uke close to him and doing Irimi Nage without any steps and the other one through Gedan Barai and Tori goes forward without turning the hips.
-Ai Hanmi Katatedori Kote Gaeshi(Omote and Ura).
-Ai Hanmi Katatedori Uchi Kaiten Nage(Omote and Ura).
With the addition of a Tanto,it became more realistic as Tori tried all his level best to maintain contact and not let Uke 'stab' him with the knife....I guess it is always essential to train keeping in mind that in a real life situation,this is probably what would go down as Sensei always stresses the importance of taking all the training sessions as if they were real life attack situations...
NEXT SESSION:WEDNESDAY, JUNE 13 AT THE GOAN GYMKHANA(WEAPONS-JO & BATTO-HO)
