Judo adventures 4.31

[yuuago]

Attending: Me, M1, Eth, Mo, C. TN-sensei and T-sensei instructing.

Today was basically just conditioning.

First we did stationary uchikomi. Then we did moving uchikomi, all different directions.

With the moving uchikomi, one thing TN-sensei emphasized was using a push first, then pulling in to do the throw. You push in the opposite direction you are throwing.

After that we practiced attaining a grip and moving in for a throw. You use the momentum from pulling your opponent after attaining the grip, and that helps you complete the throw.

The judo party is tomorrow. It turns out I won't actually need to drive C to it, which is kind of a relief.
