Seminar today with Jo Birdsong
- Parts of doing a technique
- Ready position - in hanmi
- Movement
- Facing same direction as uke
- Moving off line of attack & establishing a 2nd line
- Entering safety zone
- Actually performing the technique
- Zanshin - follow thru
- nage is helping lead his partner, the direction he should be going - not fighting him
- return to hanmi after each movement (hanmi, move, return to hanmi)
- Tenshin - step to the back corner; adjust your new front foot into hanmi (move it back if necessary)
- When nage offers his hand palm up, uke should grab on top, not from underneath. Othewise, nage can just curl his arm up and hit uke.
- In many techniques, nage wants to extend uke's near arm and shoulder toward nage, so uke's free hand is out of range to strike nage.
