Our topics at today's keiko with Eric:

  • Using condensed sword-based movements (on the count of "one" instead of multiple steps)
  • KATATE-DORI SHIHO-NAGE in OMOTE and URA
  • Alternative SHIHO-NAGE lock: first contact as when drawing a sword, TORI's hand then placed on UKE's shoulder (UKE's elbow in TORI's crook of the arm)
  • Application of the lock in SHIHO-NAGE from CHUDAN-TSUKI with the knife
  • CHUDAN-TSUKI UDEKIME-NAGE
  • SUWARI-WAZA KOKYU-HO: condensed movement (everything moves at the same time instead of consecutively)
