At Embassy

Despite being very late for class, i was able to learn a thing or two. I must have missed a lot (translated its never good to be late), because several guys had some minor injuries. So there i am full of energy and i realise guys are not so...physical. I move from person to person and its the same story. Only later did i realise what had transpired. Keep it up people. Remember, no pain no gain. So if you got injured, take it as a lesson and use it to grow stronger.
Anyway, the attack was yokomen-uchi, and from this we were able to do shiho-nage, kokyu-ho, kote-gaeshi and rokkyo. Unfortunately with some techniques like these, uke is under much more stress than tori. As uke, if you attack blindly and don't pay attention to what's happening to you, a number of very bad things could happen. Like getting slapped on the face (if tori is being very nice to you).And you thought Aikido was defensive?
