Kitayama Sensei took us through his first ever Aikido session in Kenya and although there were some variations in Ukemi and techniques,it still remains Aikido and by the end of the session,everyone of us was sweating profusely.
Sensei took us through a warm up session followed by Mae and Ushiro Ukemi 'Aikikai style' and then we embarked on the Aikido session of the day with the following:
-Tai No Tenkan Ho.
-Katatedori Shiho Nage Ura and Kokyu Nage respectively.
-Ai Hanmi Katatedori Ikkyo Omote and Ura respectively.
-Kokyu Ho Kokyu Dosa.
The session ended with Haishin Undo.
Kitayama Sensei gave us a brief explanation as to the meaning of bowing before and after practising a technique,what to say before beginning a technique and after practising a technique in the dojo as well as how to sit in Seiza correctly. Furthermore,he gave us a short biography about his journey in Aikido and that he was glad there was Aikido here in Kenya having worked in Namibia previously where he informed us that he was unable to find anyone practising Aikido.
