   Ooh that was awesome! You always make it look SOOOOO easy LOL. Loved the drum line in the beginning, too! (oh, and Go Blue!)

   Very neat video, Chief Instructor Master Dearman and Sensei Kevin. I love those short, sweet manipulations that give you a lot of return on investment! Could you give some tips on what to do if you and your opponent both hit the ground (as you mentioned at the beginning of the video) and you are somewhat still locked together? Lol. Looks like they haven’t cleaned the floor since my MSU days, and we won’t mention how long ago those were

   Wow that is neat, I love using h2h type stuff I’m sure Sensei Ryan is loving this video too…maybe somehow I can make it to class for once this Monday and try it.

   Oh, I guess I should be school-spirit too, huh? GO GRIZZLIES! (Oakland University) Hmmm…we need a Sanchin-Ryu club at OU…how is one started?

   Hello Master Joe and Sensei Kevin,
   We were frame by framing the video to pick up the detail, in the second demonstration which is performed just a touch quicker it is (apparent by pausing and starting and re-playing the video) that your (Master Joe’s) right hand is open fisted, fingers tight together, and thumb tucked while being passed through Sensei Kevin’s grip (can really be noticed when your arm (Master Joe’s) reaches it’s fullest extension and the video is paused) We understand the open fist, fingers tight and thumb tucked has at least a two-fold reason or purpose (arrow head shape and keeps fingers from catching) but we’re curious of the actual hand position, is the hand being vertical versus horizontal intentional for a particular reason or advantage? It feels as though there is more power or control having it vertical but we can’t be positive that is what we are feeling, It also feels as though you can get it tucked in closer to your body having it vertical.
   As usual, sorry for being long winded,
   Thanks in advance,
   Bob and Kirry

   We tried this last night at the end of class (when the kids were gone) and it’s pretty easy and effective. We had to play with it and I’m sure we didn’t look as good as the video, but we’ll keep working on it!
