June 2010 Starkville Judo Seminar - Day 2

Today is newaza and shiai.  For the morning class we'll be working through basic positional grappling and basic submissions.  Again, like last class, we'll be working principle ideas.
.
For escapes, we'll do:

• kesa and 4 escapes (leg entanglement, situp, uphill, bridge&roll)
• mune & 2 escapes (bridge&roll, knees-in)
• tate & 2 escapes (bridge&roll, elbow escape)
• kami & 2 escapes (bridge&roll, spinout)
• uragatame & 1 escape (scrape)
• dojime, 2 breaks (elbow, knee), 2 passes (over, under)

The principle ideas that we'll be looking at include:

• minimize friction and flatness
• turn to face opponent
• 2 hands on 1 point
• shrimp-bridge
• elbows&knees in between
• the above ideas tend to tear apart holds and facilitate escape techniques
• each escape technique, when it fails, it makes the next one easier to do.

For submissions, we'll do

• wakigatame and udegarame
• jujijime and hadakajime

In the afternoon, we'll have a spate of rank demos, including a friendly kohaku shiai
