Springfield Class - 6/6/2006

This was Tim's first class and we were late so no ukemi for us. In attendance were Tim, Jong, Brian, and myself.


  1. Uke: Punch to face.
    Tori: Receive to the inside, omote shuto to neck, kick to the stomach, apply o-gyaku. With o-gyaku its important to swing the arm like a bo.



  2. Uke: Lapel grab and punch to face.
    Tori: Slightly turn away from the uke as they grab, put your arm over the grabbing hand trapping it and bending the arm at the elbow as you lower your body. Attack the head from here.



  3. Uke: Lapel grab and punch to face.
    Tori: Cover with the opposite side hand trapping it against the body. Rotate to the outside as you bring your forearm into their trapped arm and lower your body. You can drive their elbow into the ground and/or apply a pseudo mushadori. Urate gyakyu should be had from here.



  4. Uke: Double lapel grab.
    Tori: Gyokko ryu kata. Strike both hands to loosen grip as you drop back. Strike both wrists to open the arms and apply sokuyaku below the sternum. Uke comes back with a punch. Uke nagashi to the inside, shift over and omote shuto to neck, sokugyaku to the same spot.



  5. Uke: Lapel grab and punch to face.
    Tori: With the same side hand as the grab raise your hand to the inside of both attacks. Guide the punch with your hand and body down and under the grabbing arm and back into uke's face. You must move your feet to get proper positioning.



  6. Uke: Double lapel grab.
    Tori: Use the arms to shift the uke's balance left and right as you move back. When the uke loses balance and regains it shift to the other direction.



  7. Uke: Double lapel grab and push or pull.
    Tori: Maintain your balance, keep your back straight and pull the uke's elbows in to your body. Take balance and attack head.



  8. Uke: Double lapel grab.
    Tori: Raise one hand to the inside of one of uke's wrists and use the other hand to grab the opposite side elbow. Pull it across and in front of your body, rotate to the outside and apply mushadori.



  9. Uke: Double lapel grab.
    Tori: Bring one arm across on top of uke's arms and bring one of uke's elbows closer to your body. Then bring your elbow/forearm up to uke's head and take the balance using a circular motion. Attack neck and body.



  10. Uke: Lapel grab and punch to face.
    Tori: Deflect punch on the outside with your elbow and apply arm bar with your arm or theirs.



  11. Uke: Double lapel grab.
    Tori: Strike both hands to loosen grip, strike both wrists to open uke up, take uke's balance by trapping one foot and taking uke's hands behind his back.



Good times.
