PASSED!!

Although, I felt like getting sick towards the end...All I could think of was not to tip over for Shumatsu Dosa...

Accidentaly, I let David's hands go when I was just about to do Yonkajo Osae the right side...was surprised but did not panic, the left side, I went through as slow as possible and tried not to miss a point...

David and I agree; Getting the elbow in the right angle and make the biggest pivot would do 80% of the technique, cool :)

I love this technique! Its very simple, but very strong. I experienced the hardest smash onto the mat with my knee when our lovely teacher, Roland did it on me with San nin Dori pace. I could not laugh with the pain for the first time...its a killer!
