Judo class - a little smaller group than i like for sundays, but they worked hard and we did some good stuff. Lex, Scott, Mike did particularly well. We worked on Kouchi Gari, for awhile. Very basic stepping pattern for it, but there were mixed results. It's a timing technique that requires a lot of reps, so that is not entirely unexpected. Next we added the concept of working for an ashi Waza technique and then following up with Drop Seoi Nage. The is went well. It actually made their ashi waza better and the drop looked very good for some of them. The concept was it's better to turn and drop if a technique fails rather than backing out of it and being countered. We did our randori sets with this rule and they went well.

We did some rubber guard into Oma Plata in Ne Waza. Some could do it easily others struggled. The flexibility requirements make it not necessarily for everyone, but it's good to see it.
