We did the usual warm up routine of sanshin no kata and stretching. Afterwards we did the ichimonji drill where the uke does a jodan tsuki and the tori moves into a mirrored ichimonji no kamae to the outside of the attack. We then did the same kamae to the inside of the tsuki. From the opposite side kamae we also did musha dori, ganseki nage and muso dori. We also did a transition from musha dori to ganseki nage.
After that we did another kata from the Kukishinden Ryu and a couple of variations of it. The attack was migi jodan tsuki, hidari jodan tsuki, migi zenpo geri, hidari zenpo geri, and finally another hidari jodan tsuki. The tori responded with hidari jodan uke nagashi, migi jodan uke nagashi, migi fudoken tsuki, migi gedan uke nagashi, migi jodan uke nagashi, and finishing with musha dori dropping to the rear knee (in this instance the left knee). One variation was replacing the musha dori with muso dori. The other variation was after the second jodan uke nagashi hang onto the wrist and apply omote gyaku as the first zenpo geri comes. Also do the keri kaeshi that I don't know the actual name of. You can optionally add a fudoken tsuki to the face at this point.
In the kata Doug mentioned the tori's distancing starting large and getting smaller as the attacks progressed.
Good stuff. Congratulations to Dave on receiving godan.
Gambatte kudasai!
