Yesterday we moved the old joints around a little then warmed up with part of the #1 osaekomi cycle (kesa, mune, ushiro kesa, tate, ushiro kesa, mune, kesa, kami, kesa) for a while. We played briefly with newaza randori but cut that short to spare Paul's knees. For standing work we did kosoto and deashi and then played around with some standing randori with the idea of finding the times that the other guy is off center and finding the times in randori that both partners fall into the basic judo dance relationship. Paul caught on quickly and did well. We cooled down with the beginnings of the "footsweep to control" drill.
