Today Tracy Sensei lead the class. We worked on variations of Shomenuchi Ikkyo and changing the grip from Ikkyo to Nikyo and sankyo.
We worked on Shomenuchi Ikkyo initially and focused on entering their circle and planted our leading foot behind the attacker. Once this has been accomplished and their space has been entered, Ikkyo Undo captures the Uke's energy with one hand under the elbow to control the arm and assist in capturing their energy and center.
After working a bit on Ikkyo grip, we moved onto "Shomenuchi Nikyo", which was utilized in "Ura" (around the backside or closed side), where once the attacker is brought to the ground the Nage should be in control of their arm with his trailing hand having slid down their arm towards the wrist to maintain control of the arm. This downward redirection should never be released at this point or they may stand up on you. Nage should now be in their solid stable "horse stance" from which the leading hand now rotates to Nikyo grip and draws the arm up to the inner shoulder and chest area, maintaining this hand above the Uke's shoulder is key. This allows the application of Nikyo and then stepping behind Uke, Nage can continue to rotate around their backside and pin them.
Finally, we worked on Shomenuchi Sankyo, which was done "Omote" (front or open side). The technique continues from capturing their arm at the open side and stretching them out as you take a step backwards and slide your hand down to their fingers and capture them. After obtaining this grip you push into them as if punching them (analogy given by Mark Sensei) which pushes them onto their back hand. Once there the grip can be switched to sankyo and then they are drawn out and finished with a slice to the back of the neck with the open hand thus stretching them out. Then Nage switches stance with the inner foot being under their shoulder allowing for the Sankyo pin.
