Tonight at kid's judo it was just my kids, Whit, Knox, and Quin. We did a lot of pseudo-random rolling about before getting into the exercise of the night - the Mokuren Dojo Bridge & Roll Express. In this game, a kid jumps on me in munegatame and I throw him with a bridge & roll and he gets back into munegatame as fast as he can. Repeat liberally on both sides until one or the other is worn out. We also worked on sweeps from the guard and elevator reversals. It's not really a challenge throwing a 30-60 pound boy but they get some practice moving around and falling and I get to work on technique without having to exert a lot of effort (which can mask sensitivity). After the Express I spotted them as they did falls from teguruma.
