I taught both the open and fundamental Aikido classes for Garry on Saturday. For the open class we had 12 students so it was the largest Aikido class I have ever taught. After warm-ups, and our standard katatetori tenkan and irimi kokyunages, we worked on yokomenuchi kotegashi omote and ura, yokomenuchi shihonage omote and ura, and yokomenuchi kokyunage.
For the fundamental class, after warm-ups, where I introduced happo-undo exercise to the beginners, we spent a significant amount of time on forward and backward ukemi practice on the nice blue mats before working on shomenuchi iriminage and shomenuchi ikkyo from a static start.
