Training Diary — 25 Sept 2006
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.
