At Goan Gym

Warm-up involved a variation of gyaku-hanmi katate-dori kokyu nage. This was to help in ukemi. We started with a variation of ai-hanmi katate-dori nikyo omote, followed by various techniques from a yokomen-uchi attack;namely nikyo (omote and ura)and sankyo (omote and ura). Then we moved to a shomen-uchi attack and did kata-gatame and sumi-otoshi.
We did not have a weapons class due to some power/electricity hiccups, which forced us to sometimes practise in darkness for upto like 2 minutes or more. Come to think of it, it wasn't so bad. You don't always have to see, sometimes you just move instinctively.
