So I went back to my home dojo for some much needed perspective, bruising, and good old training. It was good seeing old faces and new ones. We started with the way we used to do ukemi, which is, I do a series of ukemi and everyone tries to repeat what they saw. After that is was the up, down, and out of the way muto dori. Then we did a lot of exercises that emphasized using your intention, both projecting and receiving.
We went from shizen no kamae into whatever kamae fit for you from an uke's punch and projected the intent to stop the fight at that moment. Then we worked specifically with ichimonji no kamae. After that performing uke nagashi with the same intent. We got a little more physical after this point. From shizen no kamae the uke performs the classic lunging hook to the side of your head. Simply raise your arm to block it without moving, strike under the chin and use shakoken to the face to take them down. This was a type chi no kata. Then we did one of the basic koto ryu katas. Uke tsuki with a knife and tori just barely rotates to the outside to evade and capture the wrist. Smash the hand and apply omote gyaku. The more intention the better. Then we did additional intention exercises.
I was out really late and got beat up nicely. Can't wait 'til next time.
Gambatte!
