I was looking forward to getting home this week so I could see how I could throw George and practice my new judo techniques. I put him up on the bed in the guest room, which made him around my height. It worked pretty well, but was not perfect because the bed got in my way for my footwork. I feel if I continue to practice like that, I will have a tendency to be too far away from my opponent when throwing them. Even with this, it was a good practice. I was able to work on my hand motions and George felt very much like a real partner. If I’m even just to practice my hand motions I think I will get much better.

I’m going to email Bob and see if he has any suggestions on ways to prop George up so I’m able to practice my standing attacks better.
