-Basic strikes
-‎Break falls
-Komidare shuui

This class, we focused on over-the-shoulder throws and a few of the other kata which were a bit difficult. We will continue to work on throws of this type in this set for another week or two and then move on to saide, torite, and hopefully kogusoku over the months.

First keiko of the new term. We continued with komidare shuui, moving onto the over the shoulder throws. They are hard, but are possible for anyone with enough practice.

-Komidare shuui

Started working on Komidare shuui and covered most of the kata which are not over the shoulder throws. After keiko we looked over some kata footage from Takagi-shihan’s website. It is a great resource for seeing what Takeuchi-ryu has to offer.

-Komidare shuui 小乱拾遺

These two weeks we have been covering new material. The first week, we covered hanbo (kihon and the 12 kata vs sword, spear, and naginata) and did bichu kenbo the second week. At the end, we had a bit of time left over, so we did a few techniques from komidare shuui for a taste of something different.
