Blending, Nikyo and Randori
Worked on ukemi rolls and picking up knives while rolling
Worked on a one handed grab into a nikyo and allowing the energy from Uke to flow into the grasp so that you can use this to apply the Nikyo
Worked on Yokoman Nikyo making sure to focus on keeping their captured hand on your upper chest near the collarbone.
Did blind randori where you have to feel out the situation and react to Uke's energy.
Then we did randori
Technique Transitions Lesson
Worked on warmup with break falls and redirection
Did transition technique from a shomen to Ikkyo where you step across their body instead of t he side. One arm catches Ukes attack under the elbow the other slides up their forearm lifting the strike away and off setting them. After stepping through for the ikkyo you slide the hand from the elbow down and pull their arm back around to you creating a circle and then the free hand locks it into nikkyo by placing the hand on your chest, the other resting on their elbow and turning the wrist in that 3rd dimension towards their center. Then the hand on their elbow comes back and under their arm as you switch the grip from Nikkyo to Sankyo and turn into their center to lift them up. After that you grab their elbow near a nerve with yyour free hand and turn their elbow in and place in under your armpit and apply Gokyu to finish the technique swap sequence.

Punching (Atemi Strike) Reversals
Worked on a roundhouse attack into a Sankyo. The roundhouse comes and your arm closest to the punch comes up and carries the roundhouse up to deflect the attack and then you pass under the arm and Sankyo. Can also appply a two finger lock into the "bow and arrow" and pin them that way.
Did a one arm grab behind the back into a Kokyu-ho throw. As they pull you around and go to punch your closest arm goes over their grabbing arm and you use that connection to draw their arm down and your other arm grabs the back of their neck and brings their head to your shoulder. As you step behind then and Tenkan you draw then around you and then with the arm that was used to move their grabbing arm you bring this up and across their head and you step through them to perform the toss.
Last technique was from a one arm grab from behind. As soon as they grab you spin around and the closer arm locks their hand between your arm and grabs ont oyour other arm whilst you bring them down to the ground.
Randori clock style and then in a line with two attackers.

Some Basics and Applications
Went over the Tenkan and Irimi form for the new students and as a review for everyone. Went over the first half of the Ukemi kata up to the kneeling position.
Worked on being grabbed one hand or two and bringing your hands in to your center and turning them palm up to break Uke's grip and apply Kotagaeish from a one handed grab where the grabbed hand feeds their hand to your open hand. When both arms are grabbed you bring them both together and up with palms facing up breaking the grip and the lower hand grabs their hand on your upper hand and Kotageish can be applied. Instead of trying to fight against them to bring your hands together you should feel where their energy is going and work with that. If they are pushing into you then draw you hands backwards a bit, even stepping back slightly to draw them in and give yourself some slack to move with. If they are grabbing and pulling towards themselves you can use this energy and movement to draw their hands towards them which will give you some slack and room to move their hands for Kotagaeish.
Next we worked on Ski(Menutsuki) Kotagaeish. I tried to focus on sliding past them and allowing the punch to pass whilst sliding the hand down the arm to their fist and giving a bit of a push with their energy to throw them off balance and allow for spinning them around into Kotagaeish without setting yourself up for a mean roundhouse as they whip around.
Randori as well was done with our number circle setup and only using Ski (straight punch) or Shomen strikes. I was fine with keeping my breathing even here but did not apply too many techniques to avoid. Mostly just used Tenkans and Irimi's to pass through their attacks. This randori exercise is exciting because everyone is standing around you somewhat harmlessly and then if their number is called you have to remember where the attack is coming from and evade it.
