Once again our guest Aikidoka Rex ROMERO made an appearance in the 'dojo' and I must admit that I learnt a lot from him but before going any further,let's begin from the top.
Daniel Sempai took us through the warm up session which featured among others Mae & Ushiro Ukemi in both Suwari Waza and Tachi Waza respectively.
We got down to business with Ai Hanmi Katatedori Ikkyo Omote and Ura respectively before 'handing over' the rest of the session to Rex Sempai who took us through the following:
-Kokyu Ho Kokyu Dosa which was in a much different level to what we are used to and which taught me the importance of correct breathing and the use of the hips.
He demonstrated Kokyu Ho Kokyu Dosa with two Uke one pushing behind and the other holding Nage's wrists and he explained to us that it is all about 'putting everything inside',in other words avoiding leaning too forward as the Uke pusing behind would collapse on Nage and at the same time ensuring that Nage does not loose focus of the Uke infront holding his wrists.
Talk about practising Aikido on a whole new level!
-Ryote Dori Kokyu Nage which he demonstrated in various ways and once again the use of Uke's momentum was of great importance.
Rex Sempai pointed out a fact that I have never though about before:"It is not about hurting or beating Uke but it is all about how Nage feels when executing a technique".His years of training at the Hombu dojo were quite evident from the way he explained and executed the moves.
