Tonight's class started with no students, I had talked to Mike and knew he would likely be late. For the first fifteen minutes, I practiced with the bokken, starting with 100 bokken cuts and then practiced 50 yokomen cuts, and then 50 tsuki cuts. I continued practicing bokken cuts until Mike showed up for class.
After doing an abbreviated warm-up, we practiced the following techniques:
shomenuchi ikkyo omote and urakatatedori kaitenage uchi and soto, omote style All of these techniques are on Nashville Aikikai's
test requirements for 6th kyu.
On a related Aikido note, Jake was town for a couple of hours and we talked for a bit. He taught four Aikido classes over the summer and it is now doing an internship in Wyoming. He will be back in Boulder in November so I may see him then. It was good to see him again.
