Richmond (Dave) Class 9/18/2006

Dave covered some material from a recent seminar. Some of it made sense, some didn't.



  1. Uke: Daijodan shomengiri
    Tori: Shizen, gedan or hira no kamae with staff. Step straight back into ichimonji to the outside of the cut striking down with the staff. Immediately flip the staff to strike down to the uke's head. Step around to strike the leg. I think the way it was orginially shown was the first step was across and in the path of the cut. Not sure about that. The uke could parry the second strike making the third necessary. We also practiced it receiving to the other side of the cut.


  2. Uke: Punch to face.
    Tori: Shizen with staff. Hold the staff with the same side hand as the attack and hold it so that you give the uke an openining. When the attack comes have the staff on the outside of the attack. Place the staff against the back of the arm and hold the staff with the other hand using your arm/elbow to bar the uke's arm. Now the uke is supposed to throw another punch and you then handle that and wrap the uke up with the staff. We had trouble with this one because depending on how you caught the arm and how hard or soft you barred the arm it changed the uke's attack options. One thing for sure though was you could just take the uke down using the armbar and staff to take out the leg. Kinda like tsuki iri from the stick fighing book.


  3. Uke: Diajodan shomengiri
    Tori: Hira with the staff. This is basically tsuki iri from the stick fighting book. The main point here was controlling the sword.


  4. Uke: Punch to face then kick. Same attack as for koku no kata.
    Tori: Receive the punch and just barely evade the kick so that you catch it with your thigh. Holding onto the punching arm and dropping down to your free leg take uke's balance. We also practiced applying a big omote gyaku from here.


  5. Uke: Two punches to the face.
    Tori: Shizen no kamae. Receive to the inside of the first punch with ichimonji. On the second punch shift forward so you're standing next to the uke. With your rear leg kick each of the uke's legs then apply omote gyaku to the uke's rear hand.


  6. Moguri Gata
    Uke: Two punches to the face.
    Tori: Shizen no kamae. Receive to the inside of the first punch with ichimonji. On the second punch go into a really low kamae as you step forward with a boshiken to the inside of the uke's rear leg. Step on that foot too.


  7. Uke: Front kick.
    Tori: Shizen no kamae. Rotate to the inside and catch the leg with your rear hand so the uke's leg is across your back. Use your free elbow against the uke's knee to take them down.



I think that was pretty much it. Hopefully we'll go over some more of this in Doug's class since they all went too.

Gambatte!
