It has been quite a while since I saw such a huge turnout for an Aikido session on a Tuesday but I guess Aikido is becoming quite popular in Nairobi.....or is it because Karate are not accepting any newcomers for now.....hmmmm time will tell.
Anyway,the good news is that Matthieu PAZAT Sensei is back in full swing after a well deserved vacation in France.
Daniel Sempai kicked off the first part of the session with warm up exercises followed by Mae & Ushiro Ukemi in Suwari Waza as well as Mae Shikko.
The attack he took us through was Shomen Uchi Ikkyo (Omote & Ura).
PAZAT Sensei took over the rest of the session where he broke down the basics of Ai Hanmi Katatedori Ikkyo in both Omote & Ura and as always I learnt something new thanks to Sensei.
I usually have a bad habit of going for Uke's elbow (while executing Ai Hanmi Katatedori Ikkyo Ura)before unbalancing Uke and I am glad Sensei pointed that out and I was able to learn something new.
Sensei also took us through the basics of Tai Sabaki which is very important especially when executing an Ura technique.
NEXT SESSION:FRIDAY, AUGUST 30 @ THE JICC MULTIPURPOSE HALL
