Nautical miles
Practice this morning was fun. I was much more awake than yesterday.
Practiced with Paul first thing. (I always seem to get paired with him on the weekend.) I guess he's getting used to me. LOL He asked me my name again. and here I thought people were getting to know me.
Don't know what we were doing (what's new?) but it's a katatetori.. nage slides in, pivots, extending uke's hand out in front of them and then brings both hands back into uke as you pivot again. Afterwards practiced same technique but ura. Paul told me to start moving before he grabbed my wrist. I had a really hard time with that as uke and nage. I'm just not that cool yet
katatetori shihonage ura
Bob Sensei told us to focus on grabbing uke's hand on the swing up, getting your other hand free. He said not to grab at the wrist but to grab the fleshy part of the hand. Match your arm on the swing up with uke's and don't collapse it. Same entry as above.
katatetori nikkyo
cut down as you slide off the line at a 45 degree angle, bring uke's hand to the shoulder while stepping in and scooping down. (I love nikkyo.. heh) no spectacular breakthrough for me as nage, but my partner did tell me to slide in a little behind him and keep facing him. He said the more I could slide in, the less pain uke feels and he said it's alot safer. I think the instructor who taught yesterday said the same thing about nikkyo. I guess it just didn't click.
Same partner-- katatetori kotegaeshi. Nage slides off the line 45 degree angle, cuts up and reaches underneath nage's hand simultaneously to find kotegaeshi. This is always a difficult technique for me.
On a sidenote, I don't think my partner and I got through the technique once without Sensei interruption. He was trying desperately to find out the definition of a nautical mile. I have no idea where that came from... O_o heh
Kokyudosa.
All in all, not too terribly much to note. Was a good class, wish I could have stayed for second class. Only complaint is I must have gotten an elbow to the chin, because I've got a a bruise. ah well.
I couldn't stay for second class, had work right after. I'm really looking forward to the O'Sensei memorial class on Tuesday.
