A couple of weeks ago Lisa and Ash brought their digital SLRs to class and captured some nice action shots:
Up in the air
Seoi otoshi (4th shoulder throw): Sensei Dan, tori; Brenton, uke
Hane goshi (6th hip throw): Damian & Lizzie
Hane goshi (reverse angle): John, tori; Ash, uke
Remember to breakfall

Great pictures Dan...and your mats look nice and soft!
wow, superb pics Dan.
What camera did you use for that?

Fred
Sue: Thanks - we need soft mats so we can throw hard ... and not put off new members.
Fred: I'll have to ask Ash (who took the shots of me throwing Brenton) and Lisa, who took the rest.
Ash set the shutter speed to maximum and kept his finger down to get the mid-air action shot.
Nice to see nage practice. I'm currently working on building up to perform 'flying' nage. Shorinji kempo nage are slightly different in that a breakfall is not used in the way you show, rather 'landing' on the feet is encouraged.

Although I'm finding that if you get the timing wrong you pound the heel bone. Painfully...!
@littlefair: a skilled opponent will not allow you to land on your feet, besides if you make even a slight mistake you'll likely break your ankle. I'd go with the flow, hopefully being quick enough to roll out of trouble without injury.
