general class advice from sensei c:
go over inventory of techniques and know which one you know well + polish techniques



ask yourself what have i got for this situation



techniques
more stuff to do on one arm lapel grab:
1, one arm lapel grab - catch from inside of grabbing arm + lead leg steps back, swipe uke attacking arm down + across center line, step thru, twist and get under arm, tuck chin, bring arm around to uke shoulder, bend knees + lock
2. same above except katana nage. don't rise, stay low
3. same above but except stepping thru + cross uke, step to uke's lead toe for taisabake, non lead hand's back of hand crosses onto of arm + back to uke hand , lead hand grabs for kotogaeshi 10 lock, finish taisabaki + kotogaeshi 10, lock
4. same above except step back to shiko dachi, lead hand draws uke straight to u, non lead hand catches under uke arm, bring weight down, don't pull with arms, push hips forward, look straight, don't bend fwd at hips or will fall fwd



round house punch - ippon seionage: important to block hip first, then load and w/ feet together, twist at hip + look behind you not down on matt. too risky to keep feet apart. when throwing uke, let gravity of uke pull uke down, don't try to throw uke forward. woody does this throw well




attacking with shotei strikes + foot sweep: let yourself bounce like ball, don't leave back leg behind you, feet go together, body springs up, moving fwd powers first strike, hit both hands fast, 2nd hand strike + back foot comes fwd together straight for foot sweep. step to uke as fall, strike on ground + lock



forward punch + foot sweep: parry, not moving out of way, back leg steps forward straight before uke sets weight down on stepping leg, sweep uke foot forward, push hip forward + be confident in foot sweep, as u sweep foot outside arm cuts across uke's punching arm @ elbow for more off balance (i think)



new experiment:
after yesterday's stories about making one believe that sensei ivan is the easiest uke (or tori? I forgot the story) in the dojo or something to that effect of make believe, I think it's worth a shot trying to make believe to over come fear. So,
I am going to make myself believe that I can't wait to be thrown and I look forward to being thrown more and more over every practice. :)
