A Night at the Dojo

Attendees: Sensei Randy, Greg, Keith, Stan, Igor (white belt professional photographer from Kazakhstan) and Laura Lita (a brown belt to whom I did not introduce myself).

Forward rolls: more progress still a long way to go.

Releases: 1, 2 and 3

Worked on taking a fall as uke and generating falls as nage. Still unsure about this "making people fall" thing, I'm sure I'll get better at it.

Worked on Shomen-ate, the first technique, only on my right side. I made pretty good progress, but I did shot-put Greg on one attempt. He likes to take falls, but not like that, I'm sure.
