First I must say a big karibu to Piotr Masztalerz sensei, godan, shidoin who will be taking us through the scheduled seminar and today took us through the first class.
After the normal calisthenics, the class was underway with new kind of opening to most of us in ai hanmi. The techniques covered include:-
- Shiho nage
- Kote gaeshi
- Juji nage/ude garami
Another unnamed technique was perfomed, concentrating on the wrist proved to be a tough one for both uke and tori especially after performing kote gaeshi.
The first two hours were dedicated to Aikido techniques punctuated by exercises meant for relaxation, or not.
The weapons hour was dedicated to the practice of Jo, the exercise being Sancho part 1. Small mistakes were corrected, some obvious while some not so obvious.
Class ended an hour later with no injuries.... sorry.... MAJOR injuries to report of. Once again Karibu Mwalimu!!
