Tomoe nage! Come on mate know your terminology. Only kidding. You an 8th Kyu (bottom orange) or 7th Kyu (top orange)?

Re getting your a*** kicked by the younger chaps. I remember when i fisrts started years ago and being a young yellow belt was asked to do randori with a female blue belt. I thought 'he he he she's gonna get ragged something rotten here'. She was small and looked weak.

15 secs into randori she throws me flat on my back 'hard' for ippon sienoge. I think i was taking it a bit easy on her though
