Woe is my knees

I had a couple of 2-person classes with The General over the weekend. It was really effective and I felt I improved my shihonage a lot on Friday night. Saturday night we did a lot of suwariwaza (kneeling techniques), and as a result, my knees got rubbed a bit raw. It's not pretty, but now I have a good excuse not to practice suwariwaza for a week.

I spent this morning's class practicing with Jason. He's a big guy, but I felt I was getting him to move around pretty well. I really noticed the shihonage work from last Friday and feel pretty in control on that technique. Next I'd like to work on the shomen iriminage more. When I did it this morning, it didn't feel strong at all.
