Aikido for 02/22/2010

Mike and I practiced a number of different kokyunage and hijinages from tsuki for tonight's practice. The number of variations for these techniques is a lot but we focused first on an irimi entering for a cut to to uke's elbow for the first hijinage. We then practiced a kokyunage where nage does a slide and then tenkan before moving the inside hand up to uke's wrist before doing the throw. We also did the traditional hijinage of nage doing an irimi tenkan and then sliding the inside arm up and out and the outside arm down to throw uke. We also practice an ikkyo-style kokyunage from tsuki both omote and ura. We finished up the night's class with a kokyu-ho style kokyunage from tsuki from both omote and ura position.
