- 10-15 minute calisthenics warm up
- Duck under drill: emphasis on inside tie control of Op's arms. ducking under and driving Op on a backward diagonal.
- Duck under to take Op's back and gain two-on-one control of Op' arm opposite initial duck under penetration.
- Duck under to two-on-one to take down. From backside two-on-one control pinch Op's near leg between knees and drop weight down to mat.
- Duck under to two-on-one control to take down to submission. Get Op flattened to mat trapping one arm to mat then transition to arm lock. Coach Loban suggested straight arm bar but I found it more comfortable to transit on to a nort-south fat boy mount in order to lock the kimura.
- Practiced an arm-drag drill
- Practiced arm drag to two-on-one control to take down to submission (arm lock)
- Practiced a shoulder throw: starting in over-under clinch, step toward over hooked arm, release under hook, weave that arm under Op's over hooked arm, pivot 180 degrees and drop knees to mat dragging Op over shoulder resulting in throw. This was good fall break practice also.
At the end of class we circled up and had a critique session where each of us had to perform the throw with our partner. I didn't quite understand it as Coach Loban intended. It turns out that I was initiating the throw too early and therefore too high. Luckily my training partner was an accomplished judoka. I felt kind of embarrassed about this because the whole class was like OMG! WTF? but in a humorous/constructive way. It was interesting watching the more advanced students and classically trained wrestlers perform the throw because they did it very smoothly with seemingly very little effort and perfectly achieved the intended result.
