Test technique notes

I was able to work on one of my test techniques for a whole class today, shomen-uchi shomen iriminage I. I found it works best if after the strike, you move the uke's arm with the hand on their elbow instead of your striking hand. This requires much less power. Also, when doing the entry, shift to the side just enough that the uke's about to fall over. The distance you need to move over seems to change depending on the height and balance of the uke.

Osu!
