Aikido for 09/04/2009

My original plan was to leave Gunnison at noon and make it to Boulder Aikikai in plenty of time to make both Aikido classes. Joey needed a ride and got out of class a little before two so I arrived in Boulder too late for the first Aikido class.

When I arrived for the second class at 7:00, Tres Hofmeister Sensei was teaching. We worked on katatedori kokyunages, hijinages, shinonages, and for the last kokyu-ho exercise, Sensei called me up to be uke! His classes have a fun, playful vibe and his Aikido is so smooth that working directly with him is a treat.

After class, I drove to my sister's and brother-in-law's house in Broomfield and visited with them and then went to bed. Because I had missed the first 6:00 o'clock class, I wanted to make both the beginner's and weapon's class at Denver Aikikai on Saturday.
