Yesterday I had a migraine and because I forgot my migraine medicine last weekend in Grand Junction, I had to suffer through most of the day before leaving work after 2. I slept for about three hours and felt better enough to go teach Aikido class. I am glad I did because a new student, Hawk, started practicing last night. Most of the class time was going over the basic stretches and
learning how to do basic ukemi (forward and backward rolls). I then introduced the first Aikido technique I ever learned, Katatori Sumi-Otoshi. After working on the sumi-otoshi, I introduced katatori ikkyo omote with the focus on the first movements. At the end of class, Jake and I did an Aikido demo that quickly tired me out. I do need to get into better shape. We will have class on Saturday at the Gunnison Community Center at 2:00 p.m. Hawk may be showing up and Jake is planning to be there. My brother Jarrett is planning on visiting me this weekend but I doubt if he will come to class, maybe he will if I use my big brother powers of persuasion.
