Aikido for 06/15/2010

Last night Ken taught class. After warm-up, we practiced three or four different katatetori kokyunages and then we practiced shomenuchi iriminage and shomenuchi kokyunage. For the iriminage, Ken suggested I move my hand lower to the elbow (my normal practice has been to trap uke's attacking arm at the wrist) when doing the iriminage. Both ways are fine, it is nice to be able to work on the finer points in my techniques.
