Aikido for 02/01/2010

Mike and I were the only ones at class. After warming-up, we practiced the following techniques:

• tsuki kotegaesahi omote and ura
• hamni handachi kotegaesashi omote and ura
• shomenuchi iriminage

The final exercise was a free-style where uke attacked either shomenuchi or tsuki and nage would try either iriminage or kotegaesashi techniques. The challenge was more about responding and getting out of the way instead of just doing the technique.
