Warning: the following Blog contains extensive amounts of Jujitsu and Martial Arts terminology. If this offends or confuses you, then why are you reading this post? *looks around, and sees the reader still wanting to read* You're still here? Excellent, Hadijimemashou!
Danzan Ryu Jujitsu, one of my passions that life has a habit of getting in the way of sometimes. lol,
but seriously it's fun. Tonight Sensei Delina had one of her friends Sensei Murph teach both the 4:30 & 5:45 classes. Wednesdays are the days when I usually would attend 1 class but since my mom has a colonoscopy tomorrow she couldn't take me, instead my younger "sisters" took me up to Chico & I could attend both classes. Normally I take one Jujitsu class on Wednesdays & mom goes to church.
Boy am I glad that I went. 1: I worked out with some of my brothers on the mat. Those brothers like me hadn't been on the mat in a while. and 2: Sensei Murph helped us work on different kata & variations.
The first class one could say was dominated by Blue Saiyans. :D Most of the students, including yours truly, wear bluebelts without a stripe. Blue Belt w/o stripe = Gokyu.
Sensei Delina herself was promoted to Godan at the AJJF National Convention in 2010. I was so proud of her!!
Because none of the students were whitebelters, Sensei Murph had us work on Okuri Harai. She brought up a really good point. She took a hanbo from the weapons rack and asked would it be easier to sweep the stick if it was in the air (she held it about ankle high) or touching the mat. The answer is obvious. in the air.
At the very last 20 minutes of class we worked on pins. In the pins Uki's head is pinned under Tori's center.
Those kinds of grappling kata would do damage on glasses, so I had to remove my glasses and set them aside.
The 2nd class was almost identical to the first!
