Heard Sensei in Action--Part 3





In the first image above, Kevin Heard Sensei is throwing Troy Swenson with a Saigo Ryu technique called sukui nage. In the following images, he is performing one of the Saigo Ryu sutemi waza, or "self-sacrifice techniques," to dynamically throw Mr. Swenson, while he falls to the ground himself. Heard Sensei's more than 25 years of jujutsu experience are clearly evident in these photos.

Heard Sensei will be attending the second SMAA California Seminar this November. If you'd like to meet and practice with him, be sure to reserve your place at this special event soon.
