random notes from previous classes

Just parking a few notes of sensei's instruction

THROWS
1. if going to be thrown, go with it. zhenya apparently floats to the side/direction she will be thrown to defend against a throw.
2. can take time to set up for a throw, but if set up, quickly execute. and remember to twist hips and look to other side

KICKS
1. Step in for low round house kick. use hips. turn knee inward to use stronger part of leg to defend + create less pain on contact.
2. on mawashi geri, think that leg is like baseball bat that is swung parallel to ground to ribs
3. try doing a back spin kick, striking with the heel, striking knee. (Sensei said that other students have thought some defenses as nasty, but I never have-will. Self-defense aspect keeps me open-minded.)
4. when bringing knee up to use shin to defend against, a round house kick, try to immediately catch foot for sweep. hard to do.

SPARRING
1. if i can - someday - fight and throw Adi just one time for every 1 kabillion throws i receive, i will be happy. for now, i will eat matt and keep practicing.

SWEEPS
1. kick lo roundhouse, step into uke @ centerline, roll shoulder to corner to area where a 3rd leg should be, get off balance, sweep on standing foot as uke goes down.
