Tuesday, August 7, 2012 session at the Japan Information and Culture Centre 'dojo B'

There were four new additional members on this day:one lady and three gentlemen and among the gentlemen was Mark who informed me that he lives in Germany(from his accent I could tell he is British) and that he had began Aikido about one month ago while in Germany and that he is in Kenya for about two weeks and thus he would like to continue with his passion for Aikido.

I set the ball rolling with some body toning exercises followed by Mae and Ushiro Ukemi from both Suwari Waza and Tachi Waza as well as Mae Shikko and the below mentioned techniques:

-Ryote Dori Tenchi Nage and Kiri Otoshi respectively.

-Ai Hanmi Katatedori and Gyaku Hanmi Katatedori Nikyo(Omote)-shorter versions.

The two hour session was topped up by Haishin Undo before we called it wraps and headed for home.
