Since this was the last class with Joe for a while a lot of people made it out. I have never seen the dojo that full before so we took the training outside into the dirt. Karasukage, Shima, and Buke dojos were all together plus Jeremy from Hampton.
The focus was the same as when I visited last and that is controlling the uke from the moment contact is made until you are done. This was accomplished by taking the uke's balance immediately upon physical contact, using gyakus, and striking when the uke is weak.
As usual the night was long and sweaty. It was a bit more dirty than normal though but always a good time. Hopefully we can all continue to gather in Joe's absence.
Gambatte kudasai!
