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.
