More Ashi Waza

Racky took the class tonight and we began the session with some wrestling drills.  I've done a bit of wrestling in the past and considered focusing on it instead Judo.  But I predominately train Gi Jiu Jitsu so felt that if I'm going to train a stand-up art it makes sense to incorporate the Gi, Judo was therefore the best option.

We also did some more foot techniques but this time the emphasis was placed upon sweeping the leg which is furthest forward.  So instead of breaking the balance sideways, Uke is 'pulled' forward and the foot is swept a momemt before it hits the ground. The foot which is swept is the sleeve side, the balance is broken by both a pushing annd pulling motion with the sweep momentum accentuated with the hands on the lapel and sleeve.  I liked this sweep, definately one to work on.
