I realize that we made a congrats in our the facebook group, but not here in our blog. Congratulations to all Winter quarter kyu rank contenders! Everyone did an excellent job during testing, and over the weeks preceding testing. Utada Kancho’s message and motto for the year is “unshakeable mind”, so let’s take what we’ve learned during this period and step forward with an unshakeable mind to advance our training. OSU

Today we introduced our new students to kamaemi no kamae, tai sabaki, 95 degree pivot, and kotegaeshi. We also covered back breakfall #1. We then studied kotegaeshi from a few different perspectives, including one-hand grasp, both-hands grasp, and cross-hand grasp. Stay tuned for more kotegaeshi this week!
