Sparring Drills...

Today we did a bunch of kicking and punching-

1. First drill was to kick with shin onto inside of uke leg. There was cross step with back leg, and twisting hip and kicking inside with front leg. Uke lets leg rise to lessen impact. This was followed by foot sweep. Important to keep leg straight and pull sweep forward and not lift uke leg up. Another was to face punch with opposite side to make uke stare at punch so that he can not see that you will do round house kick.

2. another was to round house kick to front leg of uke. Making sure leg rise as your body stays low and bring weight of leg down and kick with shin.

3. defense was to step front leg back and avoid kick, and hitch step close to uke with hand on shoulder for shoulder roll and leg behind uke's leg and take down with o sotogari. sensei pointed that elbow on uke should be across body (horizontal than vertical) and you twist around and down
