Warmup followed by some break-fall practice on the mats. Moved on to forward roll and backward rolls (on the mats as well). The class separated into those with kumite gear and those without, and those with (incl me) did a few rounds of light kumite having to stay within the wrestling ring printed on the mats.

Warmup and kihon, including a technique new to me. I missed the name, but it is a palmed scooping motion described as “slapping water” and similar to the leg sweep in Basai. Second half was kumite related drills, working on evasions, defenses, and light kumite, and finishing with dealing with one handed or two handed grabs from the front.
