Energetic Monday
Everyone seemed energetic today--which left us all tired. Lots of work on three basic techniques first class. All Kata-Tori: Kokyu-Nage Hantai Tenkan, Kote-Kaeshi, Shiho-Nage. Second class was more energetic, all were techniques were Ryote-Mochi with uke coming to grab: Kokyu-Nage Ude-Mawashi Up/Down, Ude-Mowashi Flat/Under, Ude-Mowashi Haci-no-Ji; Iikyu Michi-Biki Tenkan. And I put myself up for testing on May 19th. Here is a preview of that Martial Arts show that taped at our dojo the other week. If you're quick you will be able to avoid seeing me pop up doing a few techniques mostly obscured. Most of this clip appears to be from the advanced class which I wasn't in.

Cool video. What was going on with the two guys grabbing the older guy's arms?
That's my sensei. They are trying to lift him off the ground I think. It's showing his use of ki and grounding. It's one of those 'sensei' tricks that is truly crazy when you get to try it. It's largely about hiding your center, redirecting their force and staying grounded. I didn't see that bit so it might be some variation on that--I'll let you know more when I see the full video. (I've done that with other sensei in the past.)
By the way, the older guy, who is tossing people around in the video, is just about 70... I hope I'm doing that well in 40 odd years...
