This weekend I'm headed to Starkville to do a weekend of Ni kata. The following are my notes on the thing in case anyone wants them or can get something out of them...

Koryu Dai Ni - 16 techniques - all tachiwaza and taijutsu - no suwariwaza or weapons techniques.

Section A1 - wrist grab variations - These first three state the themes that will be seen throughout... small footwork (think basketball traveling), powerful hip turning and shifting, stability, control instead of projection

*katatedori katagatame (start thumb-down, r4, katagatame - like "thread the needle")
*ryotedori sokumen iriminage (r3 both sides, slip in with elbow, j3 or j4)
*ryotedori iriminage (try preceding, golf swing, break the hinge, iriminage)


Section A2- ushirowaza - Four sets paired techniques, attacks alternate right-left, attacks get progressively closer/tighter

ushiro ryotemochi:
*kotegaeshi (L hand frees R hand, slide down L thigh, kotegaeshi)
*jujigarame nage (r5, back up, lock both wrists)
ushiro katate-eri-mochi:
*gyakugamaeate (push in hole, twist free, return with j3 or j4)
*oshitaoshi (push in hole, duck under collar hand, oshitaoshi)
ushiro ryokatamochi:
*tenkaikotehineri (when released, r hand grabs uke's left, tenkai)
*kotegaeshi (when released, l hand grabs uke's right, kotegaeshi)
ushiro katate-kubishime:
*oshitaoshi nage (r5, mawashi, back up, oshitaoshi)
*jujigarami nage (r5, switch hand, hineri, pick up other hand, juji)


Section B – yokomenuchi - These are interesting because the “normal condition” appears to be intercepting the incoming strike in a position of weakness – then the last two are adjustments to “fix” when you start to intercept in a position of power.
*ukiotoshi (enter opposite, tenkan, r4, hot potato, otoshi)
*kokyunage (enter opposite, pivot, flywheel, otoshi like in owaza)
*shomenate (evade opposite, enter same-footed, shomenate)
*sukashinage (begin to enter same-footed, drop at back knee)
*hikiotoshi (enter same-footed, switch feet, retreat same-footed)
