Beginners Class at Goan Gym

This is done during special days like Japanese Holidays, or when there is a special need for celebration. The idea is; when practising with someone you now very well, you are uke for like a whole hour, and only one technique is performed for the whole period. with a stranger, the technique is repeated over and over again with constant change in roles. Say, ikkyo omote and ura. You do both versions once, then change with partner, and so on. Sounds like fun.
