Attending: Me, M1, Mo, C, E, Ma & Jo, Ed. J-sensei and Ry-sensei instructing.

There was a training camp over the weekend. It sounds like it was very intense.

We started off with moving uchikomi. We did entry from all directions, several times per direction.

Then we started on grip breaking drills. Partially this was covered at the training camp.

ne thing recommended is, if breaking a lapel grip, to grip the sleeve with one hand and then grasp wrist to bring it down - like, don't even bother trying to grab the sleeve with your other hand, just cup the wrist and force it down. And then you can snap your partner around and enter.

The next drill was more complex, and it involved breaking both the lapel and sleeve grips, but I don't remember the procedure. And then another after that, I don't remember it at all.

We did 1 round of randori. I got one successful throw on Mo.

The Edmonton International tournament is coming up in a few weeks. Exciting!
