Aikido for 12/3/2011

Yesterday for the Open Aikido class, Garry started off with warm-ups (which is somewhat unusual for him on Saturday). We had a larger class with over nine people there including Ken and myself. We then practiced the following:

• katatetori tenkan kokyunage
• katatetori irimi kokyunage
• ushiro ryokatatetori sankyo
• ushiro ryokatatetori kokyunage
• tsuki tantodori gokyo
• We finished class working on Saotome Sensei's exercise where uke is solid with a forward punch and nage lightly touches the fist, connects with uke's center and then moves to either side followed by second uke grasping the first uke and then nage needs to move both

A good class and I am glad to see more people attending classes.
