Class started with a little bit of ukemi: three sets of three types of ukemi. I don't remember the exact combination or order but I know we did tobi kaiten, zenpo kaiten, koho kaiten, gyaku nagare, sokuho kaiten and I may have thrown a yoko nagare in there somewhere. Tenchi tobi muto dori was next followed by the night's lesson.
- Uke: From ichimonji or jumonji no kamae tsuki to face.
Tori: From shizen no kamae evade to the outside using yoko aruki or other taisabaki and gently take the balance before striking at just the right moment. Control the uke as they go down. This later became slightly evading to the inside and striking when/where the uke is weak. We also played with using a weapon as a distraction. Striking when the uke is weak is done with body language and control of the uke's balance. - Uke: From ichimonji no kamae tsuki to face.
Tori: From ichimonji no kamae step past the uke to the outside being sure to maintain contact with your arm or body. Once you're behind the uke strike with shukiken to the nearest kidney. This can be done with either elbow. - Uke: Katamune dori then zenpo geri.
Tori: Evade to the inside or outside and strike when the uke is weak. Control the situation. - Uke: Katamune dori then tsuki.
Tori: Move the uke's elbow to take the balance and strike with sokkiken, fudoken, boshiken, etc. - Finally we practiced a three person exercise. The tori in this scenario was a third party to an altercation between two others. The uke would attack the innocent bystander with ryoumune dori or katamune dori with a fudoken tsuki or knife tsuki. The tori had to save the day.
Good times as usual.
Gambatte!
