Katagatame - the cure for the common cold

This morning I had the remnants of the upper respiratory infection and then it came time to practice katagatame at judo.  I say I had the signs...

I walked thru it and demonstrated it and Todd tapped.  Then I lay down and Todd started to set it up and I started coughing and tapping.  I got up and coughed a while and thought I was finished, lay down and started coughing again.  Finally got all that snot coughed out and managed to practice the technique.  Remarkable thing, Katagatame - the cure for the common cold!
