Ryo-kata-tori and Randori

2/3/2019

So we started out this weekend working on Ryo-kata-tori, two hand shoulder grab.  The main take away that we are going to focus on is the up/down movement of the hands as we are stepping forward moving our opponent to the opposite side of our forward movement.  As we look at this being applied to Randori, our goal is to get rid of the current attacker as quickly as possible so we can move to the next.  If we get bogged down on one attacker the others can circle around us and get us from behind to take us to the ground.  You will hear me say a lot this month to keep moving.  I will try and get some videos posted by Thursday demonstrating the static Ryo-kata-tori attack along with how I would like you to apply it during a Randori scenario.
