Well, here is what I consider to be the core issues in tachiwaza in our syllabus...
White-to-Green
- 9 fundamentals (deashi, kosoto, hiza, osoto, ukigoshi, ouchi, kouchi, ogoshi, seoi)
Brown-to-Shodan
- 3 ashiwaza (okuri, haraiTKashi, ashiguruma)
- 3 koshiwaza(TKgoshi, haraigoshi, hanegoshi)
- 3 tewaza(ukiotoshi, taiotoshi, sumiotoshi)
- 3 pick-ups(morotegari, sukuinage, teguruma) - these have been historically de-emphasized and are again out of fashion, but I think it's important to keep them in the game. But with that said, I don't plan to cover these much at all at our Fall seminar.
Nidan
- 3 back sacrifices(tomoe, sumigaeshi, urranage)
Sandan
- 3 side sacrifices (yokootoshi, yokoguruma, yokowakare)
Sure, someone's first comment is bound to be, "You didn't list the most important throw (my favorite throw)" - like sasae TK ashi or uchimata or oguruma. I don't consider those to be central throws but rather minor variants of other throws. In any case, I plan to work primarily with the brown belts on the ashiwaza, tewaza, and koshiwaza listed above.
.
We will also be having some awesomeness for the lower ranks, some discussion with the brown belts about how to put combos together, and some choking/self-defense awesomeness for everyone.
