Training Diary - 20 Sep 2006

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.
