Tuesday, June 9, 2015 session at the JICC Conference Room

Masayuki Kawakami Sensei is back again and as was the case last year, the session was thrilling with lots of tapping out and moans of pain!

Kawakami Sensei took us through the warm up session which included some difficult feats including touching one's shoulder on the 'tatami' while spreading the legs wide as well as getting up from a seated position 'Kawakami style'.

The techniques Sensei guided us through were as follows:

-Ai hanmi Katatedori Kote Gaeshi Omote.

-Katatedori Ikkyo and Nikyo Omote respectively.

-Kata dori Ikkyo and Nikyo Omote respectively.

Later on, I had a chance to speak with Sensei as he waited for his taxi and he informed me that he has had a passion for Aikido for the last 47 years and that back home he teaches Aikido.

He hinted that this time he might be around for one month and he shall inform us incase of any changes to his schedule.
