Aikido for 09/02/2009

Tonight was a full class. Ryan, Joey, Mike, and a new student Luis.

After warming-up with wrists, shoulders, legs, and torso, we worked on forward and backward ukemi, building up from seated position, to a full standing forward roll. We only worked up to the back roll from a kneeling position. After tenkan and irimi exercises, we worked on one technique, shomenuchi iriminage. I broke down the technique into three parts up until the throw. We then worked in a line to do the full technique with the throw. At the end of class we worked on kokyu-ho exercise and ended class.
