Aikido for 3/4/2009

Last night Jake, Jesse, and I practiced the following techniques after warming up:

• Katatori iriminage
• Shomenuchi kokyunage
• Shomenuchi kokyu-ho

The Katatori iriminage followed easily from the irimi exercise we do at the beginning of class, on the kokyunage and kokyu-ho techniques, we started off with a ten-kan, which comes from another of the warm-up techniques. I like building on these common exercises and showing their relationship with other techniques in the same class. Saturday will be the last scheduled Aikido class until Monday, March 16th due to Spring Break.
