Saturday take down class

We had a special guest visit to demonstrate 2 Judo throws.  The class really enjoyed seeing Fern throw me multiple times.  I was a good demonstration on how to break fall.  

Fern showed a very nice hip throw that she uses a lot.  there was some nice technical foot work to be learnt before committing to the throw itself.  Once the foot work looked good and the balance breaking was happening we progressed into the throw.  It was a lot of fun to see everyone trying their best to get it right.  Well done team!

After the hip throw work we reviewed the Osto Gari throw with Fern.  She gave us some good tips on our grips and making contact with the hips and shoulders.  It's all about the angles with both throws.

Thanks Fern for coming out to help us.  We look forward to seeing you in our dojo again.
