Columbia Class - 6/19/2006

Last night was a special treat. We attended Jeff's class in Columbia, MD. I trained with Jeff for a little while back around September but stopped because it's so far away and I was new to the area and still feeling it out. Since Tim showed up I've been showing him around and last night was Jeff's class. We had a great time and will probably attend his class regularly. We covered the following basic material:

1. Zempo kaiten.


2. Tachi nagare.


3. Zempo kaiten into tachi nagare.


4. Uke nagashi omo and ura.


5. From a lapel grab moving back into ichimonji, shift forward and move into the other side ichimonji while applying urate gyaku and attacking the nearest leg with the knee. Keep your elbows in line as cover. When applying urate gyaku lower your body and keep your free hand resting on uke's elbow.


6. From a lapel grab moving back into ichimonji, shifting forward and moving into the other side ichimonji while applying urate gyaku and attacking the nearest leg with the knee. Keep your elbows in line as cover. Bring your free hand underneath uke's arm to apply hon gyaku.
   


7. Same as the previous two except at the end move into hicho no kamae to swept the leg. You must have the uke's balance right for the hicho to swept the leg. If you don't from hicho kick the uke's face.
   


8. 
   Uke: Seiza no kamae. Lapel grab.
   Tori: Fudoza no kamae. Immediately rise up and kick uke's face. With the opposite hand you can swat the lapel grab out of the way by bringing it up like ichimonji.
   

Good times!
