Beginners Class

On Monday evening, we had the premier of our beginners classes. As expected, the pace was gentler than normal classes since more emphasis is put on basics. So there was ikkyo. Starting with suwari-waza and followed by tachi-waza, we got to understand a little bit more about shomen-uchi ikkyo omote. The second half of the 2 hour session was spent reviewing what we have been concentrating on for sometime now, namely shomen uchi kote gaeshi, shiho nage, sankyo and rokkyo. Finally, we were introduced to one of the most dangerous aikido techniques of all;koshi nage.
For this wednesday's class, guys were advised to dust their bokkens and come with them.
