Aikido for 04/04/2010

This morning I watched the first disc of George Ledyard Sensei's DVD set on bokken kamei, sheigan, gedan, gedan hasso, jodan, and finally jodan hasso. We then worked on the one of the games Ledyard Sensei demostrated and I got one of my fingers hit with a nice bruise. To replicate the mat conditions of taking a test, Mike and I then went through these techniques from the 6th kyu ASU test and we practiced each technique four times both as uke and nage:

• shomenuchi ikkyo omote and ura
• shomenuchi iriminage
• munetsuki kotegaeshi omote and ura
• katate dori shihonage omote and ura
• kokyu tanden ho
