sunday class, sensei coleman

strikes:

1. step and punch:
when stepping forward, go downward into punch, don't let shoulder move forward in front of rest of body.

- its strange that punching with my right side is easier than left!

2. fighting stance, step fwd to fighting stance, punch: keep fists near chin, step forward, keep hands in front + don't pull
back, rev up those hips! sensei said lower half of body can pull back in relation to rest of body to help power punch,

3. fwd punch + strike thru face: hand and hip move in same direction,
same time, lead with hips not hand, turn hips down away from center line
for take down, do entry plus take down smoothly together, not as 2 disjunct parts

4. face punch + strike thru face: similar to above but slap punch away,
don't look up to uke face, don't be afraid to put hand on face, turn hips and take down

5.round house + close window: hands don't come up higher than ears, take down together and turn to
corner, let entry help turn you to corner

we also did an ankle block throw and one where we threw over shin
but i have to go to work and make money - will write more later...
