I managed to get about 10 hours sleep on Friday night so I was feeling great.
We went through some uchikomi (drilling throw entries) on some new techniques, ko soto gari, seoi otoshi and a new one, sumi gaeshi.
In randori, I managed to pull off some footsweeps (ko uchi gari and ko soto gari) and some counters to hip throws (tani otoshi). I have not yet managed to pull off any throw where I turn my back on my opponent (seoi nage, tai otoshi etc).
The sensei, Raki, caught me with a beautiful tomoe nage at one point. I swear my life flashed before my eyes.
I feel like my level has improved immensely since I started, despite this only being my 6th proper training session. Most of the credit here must go to my co-worker, Sean, who teaches me Judo at lunchtimes in the car park under our office, much to the amusement of the smokers who stand outside watching us.
