Shima 06/05/2007

There was a fairly large group last night with about 14 total. That's partly because Kelly is back and partly because it was Daryl's last training session at Shima Dojo. He's off to Toronto in a week so he had the floor last night. We started with various combinations of zenpo and koho kaiten followed by a daijodan shomen giri muto dori. We used that muto dori movement as a basis for each of the kihon torite goho from a tsuki.

Uke performs suigetsu tsuki for each.

1. Omote Gyaku
   Evade to the outside shifting back and slightly tugging the uke's hand/wrist to disrupt his balance. Apply omote gyaku while striking the uke. Omote shuto, boshiken, zenpo sokugyakuken geri...
   


2. Urate Gyaku
   Evade to the inside shifting forward striking the face, shift back taking the hand and apply urate gyaku. Trap the foot, boshiken, fudoken, shakoken, zenpo sokugyakuken geri, hongyaku, takeori...
   


3. Musha Dori
   Evade to the inside shifting forward striking the face and apply musha dori. Urate shuto, boshiken, juji geri...
   


4. Oni Kudaki
   Evade to the inside shifting forward striking the koe or suigetsu and apply oni kudaki. Cover the knee. Zenpo sokugyaku geri, juji geri...
   


5. Ganseki Nage
   Evade to the inside shifting forward striking the face, move in and apply ganseki nage. Urate shuto, zenpo sokygyaku geri...
   

With all there are plenty of opportunities to apply additional atemi.

Class was really fun with all those people in attendance and Daryl did a good job keeping the energy up. Good times. Sayonara and good luck Daryl! We'll see you around!
