Wednesday, June 6, 2012 session at the Goan Gymkhana

It was 'weapons Wednesday' once again and I was upbeat about the three hour session and true to my prediction,the session was 'off the sheezee'.

The session was dominated by both Uchi Kaiten and Soto Kaiten and this is what we went through with Sensei's guidance:

FIRST HOUR-AIKIDO

-A version of Kokyu Nage whereby the opening is for Uchi Kaiten then Tori goes below Uke and pins him down applying a choke with his(Uke's) gi while controlling the elbow on his knee.

-Ai Hanmi Katatedori and Gyaku Hanmi Katatedori Soto Kaiten Nage.

-Soto Kaiten Kata Gatame.

-Gyaku Hanmi Katatedori Kokyu Ho and Kokyu Nage respectively.

SECOND HOUR-WEAPONS(BOKKEN)

-Sensei reviewed Ichi no Tachi and Ni no Tachi.

THIRD HOUR-BATTO-HO

After doing some shomen while chanting 'To Ho Ka Mi E Mi Ta Me',Sensei reviewed all the twelve moves in Shindo Munen Ryu and all I could recall were the first four and I realised that it takes years of practise to master these movements but I am glad Sensei is there to guide us through...
