Test Training

Going through Dai Ni Techniques.

Note:
Class of 4. Worked on 2/3 of Dai Ni.

I remember the parts started coming together when I first started working on Dai Ni techniques. Yes, they are more complicated, but I had learned most of them in parts in different techniques, so now its to put them together.

Although, its very important that you have learned the parts correctly for the different techniques. For example, when I first realized hijishime and Ikkajo are so similar, I thought I was genious...after all, its designed for the same concept, so things are similar in lots of ways.

Again, look for whats the same instead of whats different.

Test Training

Suwariwaza Shomen Uchi Nikajo Osae-1 & 2
Ushirowaza Ryote Mochi Sankajo Osae-1 & 2
Suwariwaza Shomen Uchi Shomen Iriminage-1 & 2
Yokomen Uchi Shihonage-1

Daito-ryu: Hugging from back, what do you do?


Note:
Class of 3. Our "Must" techniques with sensei, almost in Kagari-geiko style.

The killer teacher's Suwari Nikajo almost put my shoulder onto the mat and I did not know where to go...so I collapsed way before than I was supposed to...also his Shomen Uchi hit my forehead, my block was not tough enough to stop it. Its really embarrasing, I hope I can, at least, block it. I assume I've got to be quicker cuz its quite hard for me to be "stronger".

Suwari Shomen Iriminage still sucked...yet Sensei gave me an idea to look for more fluidity instead of "steps" going to 1 kyu stage. I probably have to come back to "steps" stage, but it would be good for me to try for more fluidity now : )

Sankajo sucks as always, lets not talk about it.

Shihonage! from Yokomen. I was quite good ♪ I had not problem going to shihonage position with people a lot bigger than me. Yet, I did not know how to do "nage" without smashing a uke onto the mat, I guess I was not in fully control of my movements. Its not nice not to be able to finish the techniques.

361:Friday 19:00 : November 24, 2006

Test Training

Focued on:

Hiji Mochi Ikkajo Osae-1 & 2

Katate Mochi Shomen Iriminage-1 & 2

Along with...

Ushiro Ryokata Ikkajo Osae-1 & 2
Ushiro Eri Mochi Ikkajo Osae-1 & 2


Note:
Class of 4. Quite decent test training. Most of all, I did remember what I learned in the morning, and could do "almost" the same at night, that was very good practice for me.

Again, I like Ushiro Ryokata, these look really cool : )

360:Friday 7:00 : November 24, 2006

Basic:

Back Breakfalls (20)

Suwariwaza Yokomen Uchi Shomen Iriminage-1 & 2

Ushirowaza Ryokata Mochi Ikkajo Osae-1 & 2
Ushirowaza Ryohiji Mochi Ikkajo Osae-1 & 2

Note:
Class of 1! Learned lots of Ushiro techniques...they are so NEAT! Some of them have "what a hell?" movements in parts, still if you can stay low and move quickly...that would look fantasticly fun with such a small effect!! I LIKE IT!!

However, its not easy to do Ushirowaza without balance and steadiness. It looks totally bizarre if you dont know whats going on...In reality, I dont know its effective or not. but I think they are great LEARNING techniques.

Class of 8 with 2 senseis, 10 people on the mat was quite a people!

I realize...I am not certain for 6 techniques on the whole list, and I know I need to work on most of Dai Ni and All of Dai San so much for the test (not just for the test, but esp. for the test for NOW ) ; )

and Jiyuwaza...I so lose everything in every motion.

Practice, practice and Practice

356:Tuesday 5:45 : November 21, 2006

Stumpy's Flip Seminar

Jiyuwaza Practice

Note:
Class of 2.

Great discovery, Two great discoveries.
1) Dont look down the mat when you flip
2) Dont try anything but to attach as Uke

Amazed by the fact it made our flips 3 times ligher when we started NOT to look down on the mat!!!

What I am supposed to do is "attacking" not flip out, flipping out is an escape for not to get hurt.

I wish I remember more how I was trying to do in the earlier stages...I do remember it was hard in the beginning to apply "shomen uchi" with both hands as shite, but I no longer think about it (other than make it better) once I get how to do, what to do.

I was lonely...

However, I was feeling much much better so I could have started training which made me feel even better : )



Note:
Stumpy got even sicker...how sad...and I assume others who are in town are not well either, otherwise, they would be training!!

Anyway, I spent a quality time alone on the mat, working on some basic stuff. I have been carring some soreness at the bottom of my hip for days...its quite a bother when I do warm ups...I dont know how I did it, yet am surprised the pain is staying for a long time.

Winter is on its way, and it gets quite cool in the early mornings. Although, Kihon dosa gives drops of sweat ; ) Kihon Dosa never gets easier, does it?
