It was a good session, Thanks to all who attended the Study and also to Yudansha, Toshiyuki san. He made the class more lively by executing the full extent of the techniques in their originality. Urge all to continue practising basics and the pillars of Aikido not forgetting the principles we discussed in the session. Onegai Shimasu.
