Friday, April 20, 2012 session at the Japan Information and Culture Centre hall

What a better way to start the Friday session than Ukemi over two or more Aikidoka lined up which is usually a challenge for me especially since I have a bad tendency of performing Ukemi below instead of ahead....point noted.

After the feat that lasted roughly ten minutes,Sensei took us through the following techniques:

-Tsuki:Ikkyo(Omote,Ura),Nikyo(Omote,Ura),Sankyo(Omote,Ura),Kote Gaeshi and Rokkyo.

-Gyaku Hanmi Katatedori Kokyu Nage.

-Ryotedori Kiri Otoshi.

-Any Gyaku Hanmi Katatedori technique that we could recall and we were grouped in threes with one Tori facing two Uke.

Sensei also spiced up the session by introducing an exercise whereby Uke would approach Tori from either the left or right side and the aim of this exercise was to enable Tori blend into Uke's attack as much as possible.

Great session to crown the week!!!

NEXT SESSION:MONDAY, APRIL 23 AT THE GOAN GYMKHANA. -
