It was good to see Diana back after quite a while and as usual being a fashion designer herself, her Gi was a statement of fashion(compared to some of our Gi LOL)
Ben Sempai took us through the whole session and after the warm up session as well as Mae Ukemi from Suwari Waza(Mae & Ushiro Ukemi from Tachi Waza for the more experienced Aikidoka)we kicked off the techniques session wit the following attacks/techniques:
-Ai Hanmi Katatedori Ikkyo Omote & Ura from Suwari Waza.
-Ai Hanmi Katatedori Nikyo Omote and Ura from Tachi Waza.
-Shomen Uchi Kote Gaeshi(Omote).
-Ai Hanmi Katatedori Rokkyo.
After the session, Ben Sempai informed me that there has been talk of no longer having the Aikido sessions at the JICC since "we no longer have an instructor".
During last Tuesday's session, the JICC director passed by and watched us train for about ten minutes before leaving.I guess he came to confirm if we have an instructor or we are still "teaching each other the wrong things".
Coincidentally,we had the same discussion with the other colleagues after last Tuesday's session and I must say I am not shocked because it was soon going to come.Ever since Mateusz Sensei left,we have always been viewed as "orphans" with no "father figure" and we are just waiting to get a written confirmation about the removal of Aikido sessions at the JICC.
