I was able to execute the spinner once successfully during sparring on Saturday (against Jason, larger and older 4-strip white belt). I also attempted it against Damian, but he's just too good. I think my executing was sloppy, besides.
I did not attempt osotogari in sparring. I think I'll stick with focusing on these two takedowns this week - I'm still not ultra comfortable with either of them.
I only went to Jiu Jitsu twice this week, and I may only go twice this coming week (GRE, friends coming into town, etc). So I may keep these as a focus for another two weeks.
One more thought about attempting the Rodrigo Spinner on Damian - after my failed attempt he asked me if I had done Judo or anything. I think he was impressed because it was ALMOST successful. Ha, I'll take what compliments I can get.
