Aikido for 12/02/2009

Last night Heather and I practiced the following techniques after warming-up and ukemi practice:

• ushiro ryohijitori iriminage
• ushiro ryohijitori sankyo omote and ura
• ushiro ryohijitori kotegaeshi (two variations: the first nage slide in front and then performs the kotegaeshi movement, the second nage slides behind uke and then turns tenkan before applying the kotegaeshi)
• ushiro ryohijitori free-style, uke attacks nage 8 times, nage responds. In this exercise, I tried to do each of the techniques we practiced

This weekend I am filling out my shodon paperwork and for Sunday's class, I plan on working on the first three kumi tachi katas.
