Thursday, January 14, 2016 session at the JICC Conference Room

It seems 2016 has began with good tidings and this being only the second session of the year, we were privileged to have among us Andi Schriber (Shidoin) who is an Aikido instructor at the Aikido Ikeda dojo in Zurich, Switzerland.

He had previously enquired on this blog about joining us for practise and true to his word, he joined us on this particular session. He stated that he usually travels quite a lot and that he hopes to be back soon and join us for another session or two.

The warm up session as well as the rest of the session was conducted by Toshiyuki San and after a 'Japanese' warm up session followed by Mae and Ushiro Ukemi from both Tachi Waza as well as Suwari Waza followed by Mae Shikko, the following attacks/techniques followed suit:

-Tai no Tenkan Ho.

-Shomen Uchi Ikkyo (Omote and Ura) and Irimi Nage Omote respectively.

-Katatedori Shiho Nage (Omote and Ura) and Uchi Kaiten Nage Omote respectively.

The session ended with Zagi Kokyu Ho followed by Haishin Undo.
