This was one of the simplest classes ever. In this sense; owing to the request of some aikidokas, Mateusz kept things very…oh, I don’t know, slow? Guys just wanted to learn the names of the techniques in a static manner. To make this as palatable as possible, we only concentrated on 1 technique; ikkyo. The attack was gyaku-hanmi katate-dori. So we focused on ikkyo-omote and ikkyo-ura. The initial movement is important, difference being that when doing the omote version, one changes legs when stepping out of the line of attack. This was a good chance to focus on the details.
The ken-jutsu(剣術) was also unique in that a new form was introduced. It is a long one, so we did not get to finish it. I am looking forward to it next time.
