Richmond (Dave @ Doug's) Class 10/17/2006

Dave attended the Luke Molitor seminar last weekend in Ohio and he covered that material. I think this was everything.

1. 
   Uke: Attacks with diajodan shomen giri.
   Tori: From seigan shift to the inside cut to the kote, shift to the left cutting the other kote, finish with do-giri.
   


2. 
   Uke: Attacks with diajodan shomen giri.
   Tori: From seigan shift to the outside then move in switching your feet and doing a push cut across the arms affecting the balance. Hook the bottom of the tsuka on the inside of the uke's front elbow. Rotate in front of the uke trapping their front arm against your body and under your right arm. Continue with a kesa giri to the neck.
   


3. 
   Same as above except once you're in reach around and grab the mune and drive the blade into the uke's neck.
   


4. 
   Uke: Attacks with diajodan shomen giri.
   Tori: From seigan shift to the outside with your blade on top of the uke's blade. Rotate your blade so the mune is down as you move the uke's blade to your left affecting the uke's balance. Your blade should be guarding you. Rotate it back so the mune is down. Your blade should be underneath the uke's as you move into daijodan "throwing" the uke's blade away from you and over the uke exposing his side. Finish with do-giri.
   


5. 
   Uke: Tsuki to chest.
   Tori: From seigan shift to the left and receive with jodan uke. Use your elbow and body to "throw" the uke's blade back and away as your stand up for kesa giri or do-giri.
   


6. 
   Uke: Tsuki to face with spear.
   Tori: Seigan no kamae. Shift to one side and cut the fingers or kote. I idea is the blade sticks to the shaft.
   


7. 
   Uke: Tsuki to face with spear.
   Tori: Seigan no kamae. Shift to the right and cut into the spear, blade gets stuck. Brace the tsuka against your hip and reach under grabbing the mune securing the spear. Shift to the left to upset uke's balance and attack with the shoto.
   


8. 
   Uke: Tsuki to face with spear.
   Tori: Seigan no kamae. Receive to the right with jodan uke. Grab the spear with your left hand. Rotate to your right 360 degrees maintaining contact with your back against the staff and cut one handed do-giri.
   


9. 
   Shiho Giri
   From hasso no kamae. Do giri, do giri, then tsuki or shomen giri.
