Aikido for 09/17/2008

Jake and I focused on footwork and keeping a continuous motion through-out each technique. Here are the techniques we practiced last night:

• Mortetori juji-nage (omote and ura)
• Mortetori ikkyo (omote and ura)
• Shomen uchi ikkyo (omote and ura)
• Shomen uchi kotegaeshi
  

I'll be in Las Vegas on Monday so the next class will be next Wednesday. Jake would like to focus on a more systematic approach to our practice so I'll likely go back and start going over some of the 5th through 3rd kyu techniques and working on some the fundamental movements of Aikido for the next few classes.
