We did a nice Sankajo move the other night.

From hidari stance, block a right shomen uchi and just move your hips without actually moving your feet, deflect the attack away to your right side. Then change your grip and apply the Sankajo by squaring your hips back up. Once uke reacts to the Sankajo, turns your hips back to the right and face the other way, bringing the left knee to the ground. A very effective move that works well.

I need to work on my kote gaeshi ni. It's not so much the footwork but the grip. As I do the initial 180 degrees turn, changing my hands to apply the kote gaeshi grips feels really sloppy. I feel like I take a long time to get the grip on and finally throw. I don't really understand what it is I need to do to improve. Time to ask some questions I think.

We've had a 4 day break over Easter. Back into it this week. OSU.
