Aikido for 10/21/2010

Last night I was the guest instructor for Ken's class. Only two students showed up although we had two other visitors observe practice. After warming-up, we practiced the following techniques:

• shomenuchi nikkyo omote and ura
• shomenuchi shihonage omote and ura. For the shihonage, I realized too late that we really don't practice this from a static start. I modified it so nage absorbs the attack and redirects from the hips, a much more advanced technique than I realized
