Aikido for 04/13/2009

Tonight Jake, Joey, and I practiced outside. After warming up and doing forward and backward ukemi on the soft, green grass, we worked on the following techniques:

• Shomenuchi nikyo omote
• Suwaru shomenuchi nikyo omote
• Shomenuchi nikyo ura
• Suwaru shomenuchi nikyo ura

We worked on the nikkyo pin with all of the techniques and I tried to show the relationships between standing and suwa (sitting down) techniques.
