(damn - 5 days later - forgotten too much already)
Hanbo stuff:

- Standard Ichimonji defense from Kihon Happo
- Note that if pure defence, it works well both inside and out
- Fairly gyokku-ryo like ("straight" backwards - think of the sword evasion distance)

- Actual Kihon happo-> ichimonji inside, break balance of/redirect strike with hanbo, "shuto" (keep that thing in his face)

- Ditto but against ribs, a good test of postion is if Tori can move forward (parallel to original line)

- From "No thought" position, inside and outside, followed by 2nd strike

General feeling: Knife defense type distance

- some tiny 90 to the side thing: Without hanbo slight step forward, with stay or backward, 90degrees, control striking arm with elbow/upper arm

- Uke starts with throwing grab, Tori does ganseki nage: Keep hands cles, push with body

General idea: Do all kinds of techniques just holding the hanbo, see how it emses with you
