Aikido for 08/18/2008

BT, Tank, and Susie came for the Aikido class they are just beginning Aikido, so I started off with brief safety and etiquette talk. We went through the wrist exercises and some other stretches before introducing tenkan. Next, I went through forward and backward rolls. All of them were able to do sitting and kneeling rolls.

Next I went over the following two techniques:

  • katatetori kokyu nage

  • katatetori ikkyo omote (I am following the fundemental Hombu dojo style from the current doshu's Best Aikido)


The next class will be next Monday and I am excited about practicing Aikido after a great summer camp.
