Aikido for 02/09/2009

Tonight at Aikido we had two new students as well as Jake and Joey. After going though an shortened warm-up, Jake taught forward and backward ukemi. He teaches beginners how to roll quicker and better than I and I have learned more about ukemi from listening how Jake explains especially the back roll. He is getting a lot of practice due to the consistent number of beginning students.

After ukemi practice and after doing tenkan exercise, I introduced katatetori sumotoshi throw. After all of us practiced the technique for a few minutes and as the end of the class, Jake and I did a demo for the new students for about three minutes. We ended up doing a kokyu-ho exercise and finished class.
