This was one special Friday session for me as for the first five minutes or so I led my fellow Aikidoka in warming up as we waited for Sensei to finalise some details with a lady employee of the Japan embassy who was to take some photos as we practised,photos that are to be posted later on the Japan embassy website.
The two hour session was fast paced and below are the attacks and techniques Sensei took us through:
-Ai Hanmi Katatedori:Ikkyo(Omote,Ura),Nikyo(Omote,Ura),Sankyo(Omote)and Shiho Nage(Ura)respectively.
-Kata Gatame through Ikkyo(Omote).
-Shomen Uchi Ikkyo(Omote).
-Tsuki:Kote Gaeshi(Omote)and Shiho Nage(Ura)simulating a knife attack to make it more 'real'.
-Shiho Nage(Ura)through Ikkyo(Omote).
-Kote Gaeshi through Shiho nage(Ura).
-Irimi Nage through Kote Gaeshi.
The last three techniques mentioned above all began with Ai Hanmi Katatedori Ikkyo(Omote)and it was a challenge for me to continue with Uke's motion as well as blend into it but I guess it will take years of doing it over and over again to achieve this.....fantastic session!
NEXT SESSION:TUESDAY,JULY 3 AT THE JAPAN INFORMATION AND CULTURE CENTRE 'DOJO B'.
