Ippon gumite

Seven formal yakasoku gumite
Still a way to go before I am happy with this process.  This is one of the very few remaining 'set' exercises in our system.

Ippon gumite
Challenges spontaneity and thinking on one's feet as our ippon gumite is of a completely random nature.  The requirements are simple however, tori the attacker initiates a single attack which can be anything with a mind to succeeding in landing the technique.  Uke the defender is required to intercept the random attack and initiate his or her own counter attacks; I normally ask for a minimum of three counters.  Both the attack and the counter must look spirited and convincing.
