Aikido for 02/18/2009

Last night Jake, Andrea, and I practiced the following techniques after warm-up and ukemi practice:

• Tsuki irminage
• Tsuki ikkyo omote

With the three of us practicing round-robin, the techniques took more time but I wanted to focus on a different attack with two basic Aikido techniques. Tonight is Santos Sensei special class from 7:30 to 9:00 at Western State College's Wrestling Gym. Here is a photo of the flyer that is around campus:


I don't know how many people will show up so I am printing out 20 release forms I adopted from Denver Aikikai and a formal photograph of O'Sensei for the makeshift shrine I am setting up for tonight's class. I am looking forward to this class although I did spend over an hour working out this morning for my HAPLab training schedule. My student trainer, Aaron, will be sending me a list of exercises we did this week and as soon as I have them, I'll post them to this blog. I am also supposed to log all of my food intake for three days. I plan on starting tomorrow, tracking Saturday and Monday.
