Started with turnovers. We were instructed to pick one and work ojn it.
I worked with J-sensei, and reviewed the version where you face head-on, grip lapel, and roll over while scooping the arm. We then went into transitions - from that hold to kesa-gatame and then mune-gatame and back. It worked very well.
After that, Ry-sensei suggested I demonstrate this transition for the class. I was worried that I'd mess it up, but it went pretty well.
J-sensei also mentioned to me that you can possibly go into an arm lock too, but we didn't work on that this day.
We also worked on sweeps, which I have trouble remembering how to do and need to practice more.
Did some randori at the end. Just groundwork. It was fun.
The gym next door seems to be open now. It looks intense though. Maybe not my style. After googling, it looks like it's basically a private/exclusive gym with kind of a bodybuilding focus. Yeahhh... not my style at all.
