Because people have gotten injured in the previous two weeks at judo, the sensei decided to go over safety. So, there was a lot of detailed review of breakfalls. Definitely good for us. I think my falls are pretty good, but I've been surprised a few times and had my head snap back, so reviewing the chin tucking is good.
It also took up enough time that it made it a much less intense class. That means I'm not getting better strength- and endurance-wise as much as I would otherwise, but I've gotta admit, I was a little relieved. It's nice for things to be easy sometimes.
There was some randori, and I got in two rounds back-to-back. I can still get an over-the-back grip on taller opponents and snap them down, but I continue to not know how to capitalize on that, even though it's supposed to be really advantageous. Gotta pick something to try for next time.
I did land another
deashi, which felt great. I continued with the almost no-defense, almost all offense approach and got thrown a bunch of times, but again, I feel like more progress is being made this way.
