On Oct. 5, we continued with saide omote in preparation for kuchi saide. Then, on Oct. 12, we moved onto saide ura to go over defenses and counters. We are going over these very quickly as we will see all of these sword cuts and defenses as we do more sword sets. The goal for this month is to reach kuchi saide.

Today we had a new tryout so we opted for covering a wide range of material briefly to give an overview of what we do. Much of our focus is on technique and principles as opposed to training strength or endurance. We will focus on saide the coming weeks and then do torite, trying to fit further training on oinage type throws in the warmup.

Today we went over the over-the-shoulder throws again and finished off with some kogusoku. Our plan for the next while will be to alternate between armed and unarmed sets (primarily saide and torite) while continuing to work on the over-the-shoulder throws during the warmup.
