The first class at 10:30 was taught by Nate, the other 1st kyu, as Gary was busy. After warming up and some good ukemi practice, Nate had us practice ushiro ryo-kata tori ikkyo and a ushiro ryo-kata tori kokyunage. We then finished the class by working on the 2nd bokken kumitachi.
The second class was taught by Kip Harris (I finally remembered to look for his last name). We worked on the following techniques: Shomenuchi ikkyo omote and ura (during the omote practice, Kip pointed out where I was having difficultly in getting uke down, really a matter of angles and going where uke is unbalance, even after practicing for 13 years, I still need to be reminded of the basics), Shomenuchi iriminage two variations, Tsuki kotegashi, basically going through the 6th kyu test. In all, both classes were good and I enjoyed practicing with everyone.
