Thursday, October 23, 2014 session at the JICC conference room

I arrived at the usual venue and on the door to the 'dojo' was the official poster advertising the upcoming Japanese cultural festival on November 1 and going through the list of activities planned for the day I noticed that Aikido was missing and only Karate and Judo were listed. Jason Sempai approached the director of the JICC and he was informed that we need a shodan amongst us to be permitted to participate in the martial arts demo and that 'maybe next year when we get a shodan teacher we will be able to participate in the martial arts demo'.

Controversy aside, we carried on with the session and after a brief warm up session followed by Mae Ukemi from both Suwari & Tachi Waza,the following is what we practised:

From Tachi Waza:

-Ai Hanmi Katatedori: Juji Nage and Shiho Nage respectively.

-Reverse Kote Gaeshi.

-Gyaku Hanmi Katatedori Kokyu Nage.
