Saturday started on a somewhat shaky note. That is because it was a rainy morning, and it came with all the usual problems, namely traffic jams, mud, congestion, i leave it there for now. Anyway, despite all this we had enough quorum to do some aikido. As is customary, we tried to perfect our ukemis and do some more dynamic techniques. For those who had never done ukemi on tatami before, i have to say it was quite hectic. (some of us had it kinda easy, lol!)
So we managed to go through techniques like juji-nage, irimi-nage, and the like.
There was an impromptu test situation where we had to perform techniques almost on instinct, and ...well...we delivered. This is the part where some of us got to be reminded of uchi-kaiten-nage and sumi-otoshi. Its always so easy to forget.
For aiki-ken, we did shohatto and sato from Muso Shinden Ryu school. We also did iwanami, ukifune-gaeshi, noarashi-gaeshi and utsu-semi from Shindo Munen Ryu school.
