Douglas Kohai is fast becoming our "warm up" expert and this Friday he did not disappoint as he took us through a drenching 40 minutes or so of warm up exercises including the dreaded "wheelbarrow pushups".
After the warm up session,Ben Sempai took us through the below mentioned techniques that focused on pinning down Uke by controlling the elbow also referred to as Hiji Waza.All the techniques were executed from a Katatedori stance:
-Hiji Kime Osae(aka Rokkyo).
-Kata Gatame through an elbow lock.
-A version of Kokyu Nage performed by trapping Uke's elbow on the chest then turning the hips 180 degrees forcing Uke to do an Ukemi.
The elbow techniques are among my favourite as they are very effective even with a much larger and stronger opponent provided that one performs them correctly.
NEXT SESSION: TUESDAY, JULY 30 @ THE JICC CONFERENCE ROOM.
