Just received a message from one of our Sunshine coast members and they have requested more info on how we can work the waza with bladed or edged weapons in mind. Both form a retention point of new as well as a disarming concept. I am going to see if I can add some to the gasshuku we have coming. If not its a great topic for me to dive into. My thought would be to show each waza with this stuff in mind. What cha think?

I should film the same drill but for the s-mount to armbar. Most blue belts and above work from the s-mount as it creates better control

Great Question. The cool part about all seated waza in KoKoDo is that summer have a standing variation as well. No need to work waza the don’t work well for your body. I have uploaded a video from when I was preparing two students for Nidan. it covers most of the standing pin variations we do. It’s a crest start. You can see the pin in Nidan is very similar to that of Shodan Yoko Katate Osae Dori. It will be posted This weekend. Check your email and the Q&A section of the site

Such beautiful movement

please try adding the otoshi and let me know what you think. Its in almost every standing waza that i do.... students here me say " bend your knees "

Let me know if you like these breakdowns. If you want me to show and breakdown another waza. Just comment below

Let me know if you like the waza and I’ll be sure to pull some more out from the vault and film them

Several slight differences between each rep. Can you pick them out?

Special thanks to Max Neck for always being a willing Uke

Absolutely beautiful
