Meiryukan Saitama

Last Sunday was a hot one in Saitama, but the kids showed up, sweat a ton, battled the heat, and conquered a couple new techniques.

We worked on the one and only shihonage!

Juniors did katate mochi shihonage ichi, ni while Seniors went on to ryote mochi shihonage ichi, ni

The points were the same for both groups - remember the basics, use shumatsu dosa 

It is easy to get concerned about grabbing this and that, twisting here and there and trying to make our partner fall down.

Just focus on yourself, what you need to be doing at that time, and the rest will fall in to place.
