Practice on 3rd November 2008

It was another day in the schedule of the intensive training programme that sensei has come up for us and tonight we concentrated on ushiro waza. We practised ushiro ryote dori dai nikyyo to gokyo. It proved to be a problem for all of us in certain parts of the execution anf sensei placed emphasis on the flow and posture during execution.


The last part of training was practising jiyuwaza against morotedori attacks. It was a attacked not often used during kiyuwaza practice and sensei wanted to see how the students would cope with it. After the session sensei would point out the mistakes that were made and demonstrate certain techniques used in jiyuwaza. Sensei reminded that kuzushi should be done on the uke and that musubi must be maintain during the execution of the technique. That would involve both the nage and uke. It is not easy to understand the concept of musubi and all can be said is that it takes practice.

Sensei showed some drills and requested the students to do the same and to achieve kuzushi of uke.

Sensei became the uke so that he knows whether the student is moving correctly



Sensei carefully explaining to students

Making it work
