I'm back after almost one week. I was late since I forgot to set my alarm on, so guys were doing 31 Jo kata partner practice from 22-31 when I arrived. I managed to do only defender's role once and it was over. After that we did a tachnique started from Ushiro Riote Dori, you bring both hands in front of you hara, step to a side raising and dropping the hands, moving under your arm, then ikkyo, change to sankyo, 3 steps and pin. Isn't that easy? Next was almost the same, but when you move under your arm you catch the wrist of uke and then proceed with the rest. Then we did Iriminage from Ushiro Riote Dori. You do off to the side with front foot and step back so that you are behind the uke and proceed with Iriminage. I can't describe details since it's unusual to me. Then we did Yokumen attack, Shihonage, butin the middle you change the technique to Iriminage. Feels very strange to me.
After the class I asked Andy to help me with Jo kata which I missed and we did it several times. Now I can say I did the whole kata!
