Aikido for 11/13/2010

Saturday morning I dealt with a migraine for most of the morning so I didn't make Garry's 10:30 Open Aikido class. I made an effort to make the noon Aikido Fundamentals class. For the noon class, it was just Doug and I beside Garry so we worked on the following:

• Shomen "randori" style with uke attacking 8 times before switching
• Randori style tsuki
• We then reviewed and practiced kumitachi 1-5 with stops viewing Saotome Sensei's sword/bokken DVD.

It was a good class, and although I still need work on my kumitachis, I brought home a copy of the DVD to learn about the "official" ASU requirements for Shodon.
