Aikido for 10/11/2009

Today Heather and I were the only students for the 2:00 pm class. We warmed up and then with of all of the extra space at the Gunnison Community Recreation Center, we practiced forward and backward ukemi. After shikkyo, tenkan, and irimi exercises, we practiced the following techniques:

shomenuchi sankyo omote and ura

shoemnuchi iriminage two variations

We then practiced our shomen bokken cuts and then practiced happo-undo exercise with the bokken. The final technique we practiced was a bokken-tori kokyunage.
