The French Wonder

After enjoying the Saturday class so much I thought I would attend the Tuesday class.  The class was much smaller with five Dan grades present and about half the number of students, great!  This resulted in me getting some excellent one on one coaching with a French black belt Teddy.  Now here's a guy who has been practising since the age of five, wow. 

I got some excellent coaching on my uchikomi and he really stressed breaking the balance of your opponent rather than just going through the motions.  We then did some 'French Randoori' which is a more relaxed style of Randoori which allows you to experiment with your throws, I don't have a huge dictionary of throws at this point but it was really useful to practice the throws I had learnt thus far, Tuesdays are bit more technical and the class moves at a slightly slower pace, but for me its a great way to learn.
