Aikido for 01/25/2010

Today for Aikido class, Mike and I, after warming-up, practiced the following techniques:

• yokomenuchi iriminage. The first technique was from Doran Sensei, instead of nage swinging outside, nage moves slightly out of the line and then directly inside of uke. The second variation was inspired byMurashige Sensei's collapsing elbow to get behind uke for the iriminage throw
• katatetori ikkyo omote and ura, hombu style
• katatetori nikkyo omote and ura, hombu style

We finished class by going through four different openings of katatetori ikkyo.

Tomorrow morning I am participating in the Student Health Fair, I'll be dressing up in a gi and hakama and handing out Aikido fliers.
