Drilled guard pass sequence. Double unders, over under, collapsing the legs.

40 min of free roll, 3 min rounds.

The TAZERs are a nice force option to have. Better than the OC anyday, as far as I'm concerned.

10-12-09 Evening

Aikido class: 7:30 - 9:30. Opened with stretches and Aikitaisos, then focused on rolls and breakfalls. Technique work was fun tonight, focusing on rolling out of the techniques properly, along with the normal focuses.

1. Katatekosatori Kokyunage (cross wrist grab, timing throw), focusing on backroll out for uke.

2. Katatetori Kaitenage (wrist grab rotary throw), forward roll focus.

3. Working on the assumption that the Kaitenage doesn't set up right, or the uke stands up early to counter it, nage went into Katatetori Sankyo (wrist grab, "third teaching"), into throw.

4. Then, uke in Sankyo (centerlock) counters into Gokyo, which is a straight arm bar/elbow lock, into a takedown and pin.

So, we got to do a nice progression of stuff, seeing the openings for counters, and counter-counters, etc. Good stuff.
