Wednesday, March 7, 2012 session at the Goan Gymkhana

FIRST HOUR-AIKIDO:
During the first hour,Sensei spiced up the attacks by making them more realistic by using a tanto.I must agree that using a tanto makes Tori more alert and on his toes since this simulates a real life attack.

The following were the attacks we went through:
-Chudan Tsuki:Kote Gaeshi(Omote & Ura),Ikkyo(Omote),Shiho Nage(Ura) and Sankyo(Omote) respectively.

-Yokomen Uchi Nikyo(Ura).

-Shomen Uchi Gokyo(Ura).

-A technique whereby the opening is for Ai Hanmi Katatedori Ikkyo Omote then finally Uke ends up with the arm locked between Tori's arms after being spinned round.

SECOND HOUR-WEAPONS(BOKKEN):

-Sensei reviewed both Ichi no Tachi and Ni no Tachi.

THIRD HOUR-IAI BATTO-HO:

-It was quite a while since I practised batto-ho and this was evident when I could not recall anything(damn!!!).

-Sensei reviewed all the twelve moves from Shindo Munen Ryu beginning with Iwanami and ending with Inazuma Gaeshi.

Fantastic three hours I must conclude!

NEXT SESSION:FRIDAY,MARCH 9 AT THE JAPAN INFORMATION AND CULTURE CENTRE HALL.
