Tuesday was finally here and this one in particular was unique in that it was the first session that had only newcomers present and this was good for me since their reaction to attacks and techniques would be natural as opposed to someone who has practised Aikido before.
The first hour was all about getting the body prepared for Aikido techniques and it included exercises as well as Mae and Ushiro Shikko as well as Mae Ukemi.
The second hour included the following:
-The shorter version of Gyaku Hanmi Katatedori Nikyo(Omote).
-Gyaku Hanmi Katatedori Kokyu Ho.
-Ai Hanmi Katatedori Ikkyo(Ura).
-Gyaku Hanmi Kata Dori ending up with Kata Gatame.
It has been a while since we practised some Ura techniques and it was interesting to see how it was a challenge for most of us but I believe in due course,it shall sink in....
P.S.
I was unavailable for the Wednesday session thus,I am not sure whether anyone showed up yesterday(August 22).
