Aikido for 10/21/2009

Last night, Mike, Heather, and I warmed up, practiced forward and backward ukemi. I then brought out the bokken and we practiced the following bokken take-aways with my intention to show the relationship between bokken techniques and empty-hand techniques:

shomen ikkyo omote

shomen ikkyo ura

shomen iriminage

shomenuchi ikkyo omote and ura

We ended class with kokyu-ho exercises.
