hey, our sensei tells us you cant get a better grip than hair for irimi nage.... he says if its there, grab it! hence everyone in our dojo has a shaved head!

as for the nutcracker.... i was once uke for someones grading and i took a nutcracker on the left side from a koshi-nage, had to get up and get thrown again.... and still had a fair bit of the damn grading left. no time to recover for me. but i guess its my fault for always wearing boxers. ive learnt now... and its very rare that it happens, but on occassion it does. i really should remember to change to briefs for training purposes.....

happiness. harmony. compassion.
