	<title><![CDATA[Shihonage corrections on Friday]]></title>
	<body><![CDATA[Did not have time to keep my journal up-to-date, so will have to catch up now. So on Friday we mostly practiced shihonage from different attacks - katate dori, yakute dori and morote dori. My partner was Lucy and she helped me a lot. Ura was pretty natural, but omote was difficult since Lucy is shorter than me and I had hard time to figure out what's wrong. Finally she explained me the footwork. I missed a step. After front foot goes ofd to a site, back foot comes closer to the partnes so that next step is really small and that way I can move under Lucy's arm. After that correction everything was working perfectly. Still have to keep in mind to point fingers inside before starting, keeping hands in front of the center and moving from the center, keeping partner's hand parallel to the ground. During ura will have to remember the small step after pivot to face the partner. ]]></body>
