Friday, September 9, 2011 session at the Japan Information and Culture Centre

Sensei informed us that he would be away during the Friday session thus,Ben Sempai took over during the two hour session.
All began with Mae and Ushiro Ukemi from both Suwari waza and Tachi waza not to mention several warm up exercises including the familiar Ikkyo Undo and the like. The first hour was mainly composed of warm up exercises.
During the second hour,the main techniques were from the Ai Hanmi Katatedori stance:
a)Ikkyo(Omote and Ura)
b)Kotegaeshi.
It was a rigorous two hours and my Gi was drenched in sweat by the time we left the 'dojo'.....The Ura version of Ikkyo proved quite a challenge for me but all in all,I am sure I shall soon grasp the whole movement....
