I went to Carlos's class to see how it's going.

Present: Carlos, Will, Lucy, me.

We warmed up and did some uchi-komis (moving and static).  Carlos went over o-uchi-gari, and then an o-uchi -> tai-otoshi combination.  After that we did some ne-waza, including a turnover, an arm bar, and a strangle that seems to be partway to sode-guruma-jime.

It's a little weird, practicing judo while there's a basketball practice going on one level below you…

Present: Darcy, me, Herb, Kaya, Jian Jun, Jeff P (who wasn't feeling well enough to suit up).
After warmup and ukemi, Darcy showed us a cute exercise:  enter for ippon-seoi-nage or o-goshi, but don't complete the throw.  Then, with uke still on your back, walk the length of the mats.  This ensures that you have proper form — if you don't, you won't be able to do it.

After that, I worked with Herb on the gokyo throws that we had concerns about, while Darcy taught Kaya and Jian Jun.

We ended the night with some randori.  Kaya threw me, and we grappled on the ground for a bit.  Jian Jun threw me with a great tai-otoshi, which he'd learned that evening.

Present: Darcy, Will, Kaya, Jin Jiang, Jeff P, Mike F, moi.

Warmed up.  Mike demonstrated a cross-grip seoi-nage that looked to my eye a bit like a sode-tsurikomi-goshi (on account of the hip being sunk so deep that uke winds up across tori's back).  Since the white belts hadn't learned seoi-nage, we worked on ippon-seoi-nage and morote-seoi-nage.

Will showed a gripping exercise:  stand in a circle, take sleeve grips on either side, and try to sweep your neighbour's feet.  As people fall or release their grips, they leave the circle.  Cool game.
Randori followed.  I sat out due to a goose-egg on my leg, just above my ankle, from where someone's knee landed on my leg at the end of the aforementioned gripping game.

Present: me, Darcy, Kaya, Jin Jung, Jeff P, Will, Herb.

Worked on o-uchi-gari, ko-uchi-gari, and the o-uchi->ko-uchi combinations.  Also did some o-soto-gari work with Jin Jung.  (I really have to find out how to spell his name correctly.)

Ended the class with some randori.  So hard to not use sutemi-waza, but it's a habit I have to try and break.  (Or at least ameliorate.)

I have to get back in the habit of doing these.

Present: Me, Darcy, Herb, Will, Kaya, Jiang Jung, Vlad.

Warm-up, ukemi, throw->juji-gatame.

Herb took Vlad aside and they worked on breakfalls, as it was Vlad's first class. The rest of us worked on okuri-ashi-harai, then o-uchi-gari, then uki-goshi and o-goshi. After this we did some randori.
