Aikido Bridge Friendship Seminar Day 3

The morning's first class was taught by Tagaguchi Sensei. He spent about half of the class having us practicing a wide range of different stretches that have the same opening as the more traditional techniques we normally practice.

The second class was taught by Tissier Sensei. While I don't all of the specific details from his class (right now I am still buzzed from the nice dinner I had with my cousin Jason and his wife Jody and the following drinking I did at the bar, [is there a specific term for blogging while drunk?]) but Tissier Sensei did some great koshunages with his ukes that were great to watch.
Anyone who thinks the French are weak (or worse terms) are ignorant.

The third class was taught by Doran Sensei and I learned some different approaches to a variety of techniques with a short cut to the throat that really opens up a lot of different techiques.

The final class I attended last night was taught by Ikeda Sensei and my take-away is that I need to work on my unity with uke.

I need to get to sleep although I might not make the first class if I have a hang-over that might be coming.
