Aikido for 09/30/2010

I was late getting out of work so class started by the time I dressed out and got onto the mat. Tip started class with the usual warm-ups and then he stated he wanted us to work on our striking as theme for tonight's class. There was only five students and because I was full-time uke, I didn't get an opportunity to train much with the other students.

• Shomenuchi shihonage
• Shomenuchi kokyu-ho style kokyunage
• Shomenuchi kotegashei
• Yokomenuchi shihonage
• Yokomenuchi ikkyo omote and ura
• Yokomenuchi iriminage
• Jo blocks and strikes
• Finally, jo kata number 1

I talked to Tip after class and although I will not be teaching his morning classes, I'll be teaching the Thursday Open Aikido class until he gets back in November.
