With the usual warm-ups and ukemis, the class was underway
Stance was Ai-hanmi and Attack Katate-dori, the following techniques were covered:
- Yonkyo
- Juji nage
- Sumi otoshi
- Koshi nage
Straight forward techniques, but must mention something about sumi otoshi and koshi nage. In sumi otoshi, depending on your uke, throwing can be done to the opposite direction of the line of attack or to his weakest spot (remember tenchi nage imaginary triangle's weak spot?)
In Koshi nage, the full technique couldn't be done to completion, otherwise it would have marked a premature end to Aikido practice in Kenya. When done to its brutal completion, tori needs to withdraw his front leg otherwise he will do more damage to himself than to uke.
The second and third session saw the practice of weapons that is Jo and sword Iaido(?)
The practice of jo saw us through sancho 1 through 3.
Sword session dealt with several techniques including iwanami, zangetsu(?) hidari and migi and.....and....and... uhhhmmm....feel free to remind me.
A great session it was and welcome back Polyne.
