Todd did a great job on both demos and is pumped up about proceeding to the brown belt material while continuing to work to improve the yellow and green belt material.
.
For brown belt in aikido we will be emphasizing controlling uke's center by connecting through his elbow. In judo we will be emphasizing a handful of new throws, guard and mount, the surrounding escapes, and variations on jujijime and jujigatame. Should be fun.

Y'all should send Todd some adulations regarding the awesomeness that is GREEN - either here or at his Ichigo Dojo blog.
