nov 2, sensei maria class

1. round house punch - step into center, block and face in direction of hands (keep hands in center) + immediately swipe attacking arm down + across uke center - make sure you direct knife into uke and not u, carefully catch knife at side of hip, step into uke at angle + shoulder into uke, uke takes forward roll

2. round house punch - tiger lock: important to emphasize the shoulder roll + if you roll enough for uke to fall - that's good, entry is like close window , important to bend knees...

3. fwd knife stab - kotogaeshi: don't hitch step too deep, parry to redirect knife away + cross centerline, back leg steps to side, prepare for lock, twist hip + kotogaeshi

4. cross hand wrist grab - katana nage? immediately bring uke hand down + hitch step? , offbalance is key here, then step thru uke at angle so uke takes forward roll

5. same above but this time, back leg steps across/infront of uke, load on hip, uke's arm in armbar over shoulder, seemed like sensei grabbed on ukes other hand while letting other (in armbar) go when doing throw, keep back straight, no need to twist hips so much when loading onto hip

6. hiza geri - step in center, catch uke neck with same hand, both hands clasp behind uke neck (not interlocking fingers tho), back leg swings around at same time + knee kick
