Practiced a lot on Friday night and went into Saturdays class determined to get it together. Warm up session went good minus the eight direction drill. I need to continue practicing it until it is ingrained.
Class was led by Andy.
We did the following techinques
Shomenuchi irminage
Shomenuchi kotegaeshi
Katatori sankyo?
Katatori Omote ikkyu
Shomenuchi ude kimenage?
Got to get out of the habit of powering through on techinques, this isnt Dan Zan.
Sticking Points:
Power starts in the big toe
Move your center, not your hips
