Aikido for 04/01/2009

Last night Jim and I were the only people practicing, Jake left a message that he wasn't feeling well. After warming up, Jim and I did some tenkan exercises and spent the rest of the time working on katadori ikkyo omote and ura. We finished the class doing kokyu-ho. I enjoy working one-on-one especially with a beginner because we can really focus on all of the steps in a technique and I can also improve my own techniques as well when responding to questions and issues that come up naturally in an extended practice session on the mat.
