Friday, July 13, 2012 session at the Japan Information and Culture Centre hall

Jason Sempai was all set and ready to take us through the two hour session and for sure he did not disappoint.

After taking us through a session of warm up exercises and Ukemi(Mae& Ushiro)from both Suwari Waza and Tachi Waza,the below mentioned attacks and techniques were on offer:

-Ai Hanmi Katatedori:Irimi Nage(Omote,Ura),Ikkyo(Omote,Ura-for advanced students)and any other technique we could think of from the same stance.

-Shomen Uchi Irimi Nage.

-Yokomen Uchi Irimi Nage.

I discovered that doing Ukemi is not as simple as it looks and for sure most of us especially the new faces including the senior citizen with a green belt in Goju Ryu Karate had a difficult time rolling but I guess it all comes with constant practise and following directions from the instructor to the latter.

The last five minutes or so we went through some vigorous exercises which left most of us out of breath though I must conclude that the session was a good one.
