The first session on a Tuesday at the Japan Information and Culture Centre began with a bang since we had two newcomers to Nairobi Aikikai!
To set the new session off,Mae and Ushiro Ukemi from Suwari Waza were in order followed by the below mentioned attacks and techniques:
-Shomen Uchi:Kote Gaeshi(Omote),Shiho Nage(featuring two Omote and Ura versions respectively)and rokkyo respectively.
-Tsuki:Ikkyo(Omote & Ura)and Shiho Nage(Omote & Ura)respectively.
To make it more lively,Sensei handed us some markers that we used as Tanto when Uke attacked Tori with a Tsuki thrust.
It was a refreshing switch from the 'unforgiving' Goan Gymkhana surface and I look forward to more of these Tuesday sessions.
