Just realized this post is looooong overdue, sorry guys, I believe no harm done :)
The main attack in this session was chudan tsuki, stance was aihanmi and the techniques covered were ikkyo, nikkyo, sankyo, and yonkyo all in ura and omote. The thing about chudan tsuki attack is tori has to be very, very fast if it is done dynamically as opposed to statically whereby uke holds tori's hand, and that ladies and gentlemen all of us failed miserably, well practice and more practice is required. The finishing of all techniques above remain the same.
Another technique sampled was shomeni uchi irimi nage ura and omote.... not badly done but if more dynamism was considered by all it would be great!
The weapons hour started with practice of shomen uchi with a partner (of course not hitting your partner with a bokken, but won't mind doing that to Daniel ;) if he allows me) and followed by a session of uchi no tachi. Practicing with different partners made it better but at the same time challenging.
An extra 30 minutes was dedicated to teach Sempai Daniel iwanami and ukifunegaeshi. I need to learn how to sheath my bokken!!!

ichi no tachi, my friend. Not uchi. Oh, and the iaido class is now official. But it is not for me, rather for all of us. Possessing a iaito is really no big deal, so it should not be a hinderance to doing iaido. Otherwise, great post, and lets all keep learning together.
