Seminar 1

Today was our first session and unfortunately,we arrived a few minutes late.
After the warm up,Sensei  Massimo Ei Villa Dorat focused on Irimi Nage-Aihami,gyakuhami, yoko men uchi and shomen uchi.

I loved the theory part-he was explaining alot and the thing that struck me was that curiosity and enthusiasm are what make us good in Aikido
Curiosity-wanting to know how things work.
Enthusiasm-sharing that curiosity with others in the dojo.

He kept mentioning my favourite word in the dojo-energy and he showed us some techniques to control Uke's energy.Before this,I would have termed what he did as 'magic'

It was a great class and time just flew.
Looking forward to tomorrow.

We also skyped with Sensei Piotr  later and hopefully,we'll be seeing him in Nairobi this year.

P.s -Sammy,you'd have loved the seminar.

It appears that you finally arrived. Pole sana for the eventful trip. Have loads of fun in Rwanda. Key thing is to focus. Seminars are not an everyday thing, so the more you can retain, the better. Cheers!!!
