Some genkido to start the morning... we worked some basic exercises including walking position, ikkyu endo and arm extension to open up a grab from behind. Then we worked on a variety of really nice simple techniques that included some no-grab (by nage) throws. One really nice one is a kneeling/seated attack where uke comes to grab you and you simply bow at the right moment to throw them. We also worked on a number of circular attacks, using the earlier arm extension exercise as a base. Some of the simplest stuff is amazing. We also worked on applying the same technique on variations of a single attack (circle to grab both arms from behind). We worked the attack from the hands up to the elbows to the shoulders.
