11/08/08 - this was my eighth (and most recent) judo lesson with Pat. We went over the “stepping/sweeping” exercise, with an added element: having uke plant his front foot to try to stay solid while tori bumps him. This makes uke go back more dramatically, and gives tori a real feel for the timing of the bump. Crazy.
Randori-like exercise: taking turns doing deashi barai three times (2 on one side, 1 on the other, any order). The element of randomness here may help my randori some, but there's enough non-random stuff (which sweep we're working, how many times, etc.) that I can sort of keep up.
Pat demonstrated 4 entries into osotogari. All 4 were done with tori’s right leg, and are responses to the following 4 movements by uke: forward on tori’s turn “side”, backward on tori’s turn “side”, forward on uke’s turn “side”, and backward on uke’s turn “side”. I know this is not the case, but that almost felt like 3 new throws to wrap my head around. We worked an uchikomi cycle of the 4 entries, but my brain wasn't great at remembering the 3 new entries (particularly the 3rd one). Stupid brain. Repitition may help.
We repeated the concept of an early and late deashi barai. Pat also discussed 2 sweeps similar to deashi barai and kosotogari: okuriashibarai (sweeping both feet together) and harai tsurikomi ashi (sweeping the foot behind the other one).
