Aikido for 08/24/2010

Tuesday's Class was taught by Ken. After warm-up we practiced the following techniques:
  • katatetori tenkan kokyunage
  • katatetori kokyu-ho (or irimi-style) throw
  • katatetori hijinage omote
  • yokomenuchi iriminage with a yonkyo opening, Ken told us that both the hijinage and iriminage were from Doran Sensei at this year's Summer Camp in the Rockies.
  • bokken exercise
  • bokken kata were as uke raises up for a shomen strike, nage moves the wrist up to engage uke's exposed forearms before coming around for a yokomen strike to uke's same-side neck.

After class I went with Tip, Ken, and Doug to Old Chicago for beer and bar food.
