Hi everyone,

In our next session, we will continue working on Muso Dori.

Recently, we began practicing Nage Kata (throwing techniques), specifically Seoi Nage (shoulder throw). Performing this technique as an armbar can sometimes be Gyaku, as the arm is twisted. We started with Ryote (two hands) and also practiced Katate (one hand).

The steps for Nage Waza are:
1.  Kuzushi
2.  Irimi (Entering)
3.  Kake (Hooking)
4.  Pinning
5.  Zanshin

Upcoming Events & Training Opportunities:

  - July 17–18: West Virginia Seminar
    The theme is Bokuden Ryu Taijutsu, which is closely related to Takagi Yoshin Ryu. If you are interested, you can find a book on Bokuden Ryu here: https://www.amazon.com/Bokuden-Ryu-Jujutsu-Quarters-Combat/dp/B0C6BZG87W
  - July 31 – August 2: Kacem in Richmond

Additionally, here is some excellent footage of Ogawa Sensei demonstrating fundamental techniques, including Omote Gyaku, Tsuki, Gedan Uke, and Zenpo Geri: https://www.facebook.com/reel/2062977224288575

Warm regards,

David Moorefield

David, I am making little progress with my neck and shoulder. No one can figure it out. I went for 2 MRIs last evening. 

As you ight expect, throwing on my neck or shoulder is the last thing I need to do right now.

So, I will pass on this evening.

Tom

Tom,

I hope things get better soon.

Also, please remember that you are never obligated to do exactly what we are doing in class. You are always welcome to practice something different or work on solo exercises instead.

Best regards,
David Moorefield
