Library access viewThe class nameThe library drafted this name from the class itself. Brandon has not approved it; he can approve it, replace it, or leave it.
Every class opens with check-in, bow-in and stretching and closes with a bow-out. The class backbone is the same every time. This is what this class does with the rest of the hour:
- Whole-Body Vertical Structure and One-Leg Support · Hip Rotation, Pivoting, and Directional Turning · 5:05–7:59 · 3 moments
- Whole-Body Vertical Structure and One-Leg Support · Hip Rotation, Pivoting, and Directional Turning · 10:05–14:19 · 6 moments
- Foot and Ankle Conditioning Through Weighted Mobility · Whole-Body Vertical Structure and One-Leg Support · 20:00–32:17 · 10 moments
- Whole-Body Push Quality Over Arm Strength · Contact Continuity Under Resistance and Structural Resilience · 33:09–34:20 · 2 moments
- Direction, Position, and Off-Line Control During Engagement · Technique Taxonomy, Entry Labels, and Adaptations · 42:32–45:23 · 3 moments
- Transition from Contact to Throw Construction · Impact Preparation, Falling Strategy, and Safe Recovery · 47:18–58:17 · 4 moments
The library grouped the moments into sections and named them. The boundaries and the names are proposals until Brandon approves them.
The class moves from a long foundational movement block (alignment, stepping, pivoting, and balance under load) into a conceptual reset around push-based contact mechanics. Mid-session the instructor links these mechanics to partner engagement, safety, and off-line body mechanics, then transitions into named throw/entry variations with repeated correction and refinement. The later segment shifts to hip-driven throw sequencing and contrasting techniques, with closeout discussion and class debrief.
The library wrote this description from the transcript. Brandon has not written it and can rewrite it at any time.
Names are drafted from what happens inside each one (proposed, awaiting Sensei's approval).

The library proposed these concept labels from the transcript and tagged where they appear. They are proposals, not Brandon's terms.
