Judo class - Returned from my extended football weekend and held class on labor day. Surprisingly good turnout for the holiday. we did warm ups and then I rewarded the holiday appearance by doing Tokui Waza allowing everyone to work on the favorite techniques. I worked in a bit here and there but mostly tweaked a few technical issues while everyone was working on their throws and fits. We did 4-5 sets of randori. I also pointed out to Lex that he is doing his Kata for his Sankyu promotion, on Thursday one way or the other. So he invested some time with it working with Scott, Alma and Christine.
For Ne Waza we covered some more passing the guard work. i went back to the over under pass but made a little different emphasis of controlling the leg you are over and keeping good head position in the opponents hips. We did a few sets of Ne Waza. I joined when there was a minor injury. We were playing three minute matches to a resolution. We had 8 of us. Each person trained with each other person, and the set was for three minutes or until there was a choke, armlock or 25 second pin. I pulled with all of them, avoiding falling back on the kneeling program, and swept, passed and pinned all except Lex. he avoided the sweep and I turtled. He engaged the turtle but there wasn't a change of position before time expired. 6-0-1. everyone did well and had a good class for the Holiday, so it was definitely worth coming in and opening the gym for class.
