Okay, so I am sure I am going to butcher the spelling, but last night we worked on the Ost Otto Gari.  This is called the Major Reaping Throw.  Its an outside trip with a bit of an upper-body twist to throw them off balance (or at least that’s what it is supposed to be… I still kinda suck at it, so it may not be that when I do it .)  We also worked on three other throws (which I don’t know the names for.)  They are basically a head-and-arm throw (which any of your wrestlers out there would recognize), and arm throw, and a hip throw (both of which are similar to the head-and-arm, but your grab the person differently.)  I will try to get some pictures up here to help you understand what I am describing.

All in all, I still pretty much suck, but I am learning.  I am also having fun with my kid, and getting great exercise.  For any of you who have looked at classes in the Utah Valley, I have found this to be a great value.  It is $35 per month, and they have 3 classes per week (attend as many as you can… I just do two of them.)
