Wednesday, July 4, 2012 session at the Goan Gymkhana

This was a unique Wednesday session unlike the previous ones as it was two hours of Aikido and one hour of weapons and thus there was no Batto-Ho session.

Sensei focused mainly on an Ai Hanmi Katatedori stance stance and the movement was through Tenkan and boy did I have an enormous task performing the Tenkan without unnecessarily moving the front leg.

FIRST & SECOND HOURS-AIKIDO:

-Ai Hanmi Katatedori(through Tenkan):Shiho Nage(Omote & Ura),Irimi Nage(Omote),Kiri Otoshi,Kote Gaeshi,Kokyu Ho and Juji Nage respectively.

-Ai Hanmi Katatedori Irimi Nage without moving a step.

-Yokomen Uchi(through Tenkan using Tanto):Shiho Nage(Omote & Ura),Kote Gaeshi(Omote),Kokyu Ho and Sankyo(Omote).

LAST HOUR-WEAPONS(BOKKEN):

After doing some Shomen and other exercises using Bokken,Sensei took us through the eight Bokken kata and I was glad since it was quite a while since I went through the eight Kata and I was able to remind myself once again.

What a three hour session it was!
