Mid May weekend training

Ryote mochi techniques in Nagareyama.

First we did both ushiro ryote mochi sankajo osae 1,2. Focus was on not breaking uke`s grip, and instead using the connection against them.

Next we went into suwari waza ryote mochi tenchinage 1. We worked on becoming one with correct posture and balance.

Sunday in Saitama the main theme was shihonage. 

First a review of the basic katate mochi shihonage ichi. Finding the circles within linear movements.

Then a battle of trying to keep our hips down during hanmi handachi katate mochi shihonage ichi.(one of this year`s set test techniques for shodan).
