Judo adventures 2.17

[yuuago]

Attending: Me, M, M2, D, + teenagers V-chan, H, SJ, C, + one other whose names I don't know. V-sensei and R-sensei instructing.

Started off by partnering up and doing 100 uchikomi. I went with R-sensei. Decided to do 10 sets, different throw or throw variation for each. I managed to get nine; for the last one, I ran out of ideas, so did a repeat. ...Was exhausted by the end of that.

I'm having trouble remembering which throws I know, and that bothers me. It might be good to find some way to track them. Or... maybe I'll dig up the list of the ones that are required for each belt, and then concentrate on making sure I'm awakre of the ones that I should know, and the ones that I should be learning to get full orange. And then continue like that. (Though where I will find the time/energy to do that, I do not know.)

After that, grip breaking. Did a few variations. R-sensei suggested I grab the wrist like a baseball bat and then shove it down that way - that helped a little.

After that, moving uchikomi. Partnered with R-sensei again. It was good, we focused a lot on technique etc and just trying things out. We worked through some combinations - osotogari to sesai, and another that I can't recall.

I was totally exhausted by the end. Good class, though. :V
