We started off with the walking kata, focusing on the first 7 movements. We then moved to releases. We repeated releases 1 through 4 for a while, then focused on Release 3 in particular. We spent most of the time working on release 3, and some variations that can happen. We talked about being able to move our hands into more of a release #1 relationship once release 3 was executed.
We also looked at controlling uke’s hand, and were shown why we should keep our thumb out of uke’s reach. Turns out “bad guy” can use our thumb as a handle to crank us pretty good if he gets hold of it. We ended up with an introduction to Chain #3.
