I would like to begin by welcoming the newest member of Nairobi Aikikai by the name of Albert-I hope you will stay long enough to appreciate the martial art of peace and harmony.
Warm up exercises were courtesy of Reza before Jason took over and took us through the basics of Ai Hanmi Katatedori Ikkyo Omote and Gyaku Hanmi Kakatedori Ikkyo Omote.
The techniques we went through during the two hour session were:
From the Ai Hanmi Katatedori stance:
-Sumi otoshi
-Uchi Kaiten Nage(Omote and Ura)
-Kote Gaeshi
-Kokyu Ho
-Shiho Nage
From the Gyaku Hanmi Katatedori stance:
-Soto kaiten Nage
-Reverse Kote Gaeshi
Apparently,Ai Hanmi Katatedori Uchi Kaiten Nage has several versions and Sensei reviewed the one he introduced on last Friday's session in addition to two others.
Finally,I would like to wish Sensei a very happy birthday which we observed with some extra cold bottles of Tusker Malt and Guinness Kubwa plus some 'njugu'...many happy returns Sensei!
Next class:Wednesday,November 2.Weapons class:Jo and Iaido.
