Editors Note: This is the third in a three part series regarding our Fall 2011 seminar with Peter Bernath Sensei. You can find all three posts under the video tag. Enjoy!

During the third class, Sensei demonstrated tanto waza, including a devastating choke from tsuki. Note the role of uke and nage in the first technique (tsuki shihonage), which I think is more subtle than it appears.

This first video features kokyunage, shihonage, and iriminage.  I’ll follow up in a later post about that shihonage, from my perspective as uke.

Our deepest thanks to all our friends who supported us. And of course, our thanks and gratitude to Bernath Sensei, who taught an exhilarating seminar.

We appreciate it more than you know.
