Friday's class was to be a rehersal for the cultural day, and it did not disappoint.
One unique thing about the class was that it was done in open air!! since the dojo was being setup for the cultural day, and yes... we had a tatami, what else could we have asked for :)
Reza, Dennis and I started with some ukemi before the rest of the gang showed up and getting the feeling of tatami after being hardened by hard concrete floors...tatami is for softies :)
Matthieu sensei took us through some basic techniques ikkyo omote and ura, nikkyo omote and ura irimi nage omote and ura all in ai hanmi (I didn't mind the falling especially during irimi nage.)
The same techniques were done using a jo during the second hour, whereby uke attacks tori with the jo (tzuki), tori get hold of the jo, performs the technique and left holding the jo. Shiho nage was also included in this hour.
After class, Reza, Ben and I tried to perform some Sancho1, all 3 parts, a bit rusty but we got it!!
Nice class
