Judo adventures 2.29
Attending: Me, A, L, VP, Se, H, Ja, C & C's mom. F instructing.
It's been a while since I've seen F at the club, so it was nice to see him again.
Started off with a bunch of uchikomi. Then switched to moving uchikomi. I partnered with F and then H, and later A. No new material at this point; just practice.
After that, we worked on an osoto-gari variant, one that we've been over with V-sensei at one point. You pull your opponent downward, then reach over their back to grab the belt. From there, proceed as usual. It's kind of tricky, but can work well if they're already bent a bit.
Also did a variation of that - if they twist to your right so that they're out of the way and you can't complete the osoto-gari, you can twist toward your left, and from there move into a makakomi. Tricky, but effective if you pull it off.
After that, there was time for randori. I was feeling tired, so instead I did some uchikomi with C's mom, whose name I didn't catch. Since she's very new, she can't really do randori yet. It worked out pretty well, though; she's catching on.
