It has been a while since anyone of us got to work our knees so guess what techniques we had to practice on that night? Yes you guessed it, hanmi handachi waza.
We have to execute iriminage, kotegaeshi and shihonage techniques in hanmi handachi position from shomenuchi, yokomenuchi, katatedori and kosa dori attacks. It is basically the same as executing the waza in tachi position but we were reminded that only for hanmi handachi shomenuchi shihonage that we finish the technique in tachi position.
Somehow this session seemed to be less taxing than the last. lost Sensei showed us a few pointers on executing shihonage and being the uke for that technique. As kosa dori techniques were rarely tested on sensei thought that it would be prudent to let practice on the same. we were told not to rush in execution of techniques and reminded us of kuzushi of uke as well as making sure that flow is not lost during execution.

The jiyuwaza session was against katatedori attacks. Sensei noted that during jiyuwaza we tend to ignore awase and atemi and we need to pay attention to our tai sabaki. As usual the class ended with suwariwaza kokyuho.
After practice we treated ourselves to some home made cookies!
