Today's was the last class of this ABG. We worked on kotetaoshi and maeotoshi from nijusan and the first two releases from yonkata. We played with kotetaoshi retreating down a line similar to hikitaoshi as a setup for maeotoshi. On yonkata #1 and #2, we worked on making the tori's motions as similar as possible to hanasu releases #1 and #3 - just on the inside of the arm. We also worked on these two releases at the previous ABG, but we had previously de-emphasized the down-up component of this diagonal spiral. Today we worked on the connection of this release motion (hanasu #1,3, yonkata 1,2) to the first turn in tegatana, including the vertical component. Works very nice.
