This weeks started with the juniors completing their warmup, stretches and breakfalls before moving onto the first part of their session. This took the form of a demonstration of how and where to place the feet for Tai otoshi. The juniors practiced this firstly individually then with a partner and finally as a complete throw. The safety mats were used to help cushion the repeated landings. Then they moved onto Kesa gatame and then combined this with the throw before demonstrating their efforts in front of everyone. We can report that there were some good examples shown indicating good progre

This week saw the club’s annual presentation evening but before that there was some judo to be done. The session was slightly shorter than usual but followed the same format, a warmup followed by some stretching and then breakfalls and also the popular and improving cartwheels. Tai otoshi was demonstrated with emphasis on foot placement by Tori and the need for a good breakfall by Uke. The juniors then went on to practice this in a round robin and using the safety mats to lessen the impact of all the landings.
They then moved on to the presentation of trophies and the well earned accolades we

The older players practiced to left and right whilst the younger players concentrated on good position an

They started their session by warming up, stretching and completing their breakfalls before finishing with more cartwheels. All slowly improving. The session worked on Uke goshi with emphasis on the body’s position and not confusing this throw with Ogoshi. Whilst the younger players worked on these elements and using the safety mats for landing the older players were encouraged to work left and right handed. They moved on to the hold down Kuzure kesa gatame a

The juniors started their session with warmup exercises, stretches and balance exercises. This was followed with their breakfalls and finally some cartwheels which they are getting more confident at. The session was a follow on from last week working with Ippon Seoi Nage and Seoi Toshi. Each technique was practiced individually and then as a combination. The safety mats were used to help ease the impact of the continual landings. The younger players concentrated on the throws using their dominant grips whilst the older players practiced both left and right hand. They finished off their sessio
