Aikido for 09/15/2010

Ken taught Tuesday night's class. After warm-up, we worked on a number of things from the seminar, including Suzuki Sensei's sacerfice ryokatatetori kokyunage and the step-through katatetori kokyunage. At the end of class we worked on the Ikeda Sensei internal movement exercises from katatetori with the ikkyo opening movement. Ken had us pair up and then the goal is move uke by connecting with the center and then moving uke. Ken purchased Ikeda Sensei's 7 DVDs on the internal style of Aikido and will be bringing those insights to class.
