sensei maria class

1. double lapel grab
1 hand in crook of uke elbow, turn hip at + step out in angle while other hand hooks thumb under ukes other elbow + push this elbow to uke ear, emphasize the dropping of weight on uke's elbow + stepping out @ angle more than elbow to ear, then uke is off balance, then stepping into uke with following leg

2. double label grap - same as above except osoto gari (make sure bum is behind uke's bum)

3. forward straight punch - hitch step in, same hand as lead leg grabs uke face @ cheek to cause uke's head to lean against tori, step back around using same lead leg + bring uke head with you, uke takes fall.

* another nice way to grab is go for shoulder instead of uke head
* another not so nice way is to grab @ eye. ew. not for dojo.

4. same side wrist grab - shihonage

* when hitching step forward, simple bring uke hand forward to stretch out. don't make a big motion with uke's hand when setting up.


5. 1 arm lapel grab - step in center and drop weight

6. 1 arm lapel grab - same above but catch foot and take a big step back and sweep forward. don't pick up foot off ground

some games:
slap shoulders
tap head while uke on ground before uke gets on feet

Great class last night, great company for beers. ;)

I really didn't feel like going to class yesterday, but I am so happy I did. I really felt my ukemi click. Working with you was also really great, because I could really feel how you were taking me off balance.

Something to mention with the Osoto, is that when your head was up and you moved in, it felt like your body was straight then turned sharply, when my mind registered the change in direction I had hit the floor. It took me about 8 falls to slap at the correct time. I got ROCKED!
