From aihanmi katatedori attack, we were able to revisit nikyo (omote and ura), yonkyo omote and iriminage omote. We finished off with shomenuchi kokyunage, which is very difficult because it requires perfect timing, and also very taxing for uke due to the element of collision. By this i mean the idea of both uke and tori attacking at the exact same time.
Challenges included the yonkyo cut. Most of us (maybe even all of us) have a problem when it comes to leading uke's arm down. The cut is just never convincing enough, and apparently there are some very honest guys who will reverse the technique on you if you are this sloppy. The other major challenge was the timing for kokyunage, just as i have mentioned above.
An important tip for beginners would be; try to find your center (not my words). This is also not easy since most of the times i (having practised for almost 2 years now) am all over the place, but at least by now i have an idea of where my center is. Trust me, it helps to locate it.
