Gym 10/15

Life Fitness Elliptical: 10 minutes!, level 4

Aikido - Katatori Ikkyo

After warming up, we worked on katatori ikkyo starting from taisabaki on up. As a variation, we also did a tanto shoulder attack to work on the intensity. We also worked on shihonage and several kokyunage throws. I ran low on energy toward the end. The ukemi from kokyunage sapped me.

Aikido - Pretest

Back in the old home dojo! We started by warming up and then into some basics - shomenuchi kokyunage, shomenuchi iriminage and shomenuchi ikkyo. We did some variations that are not commonly taught in the AAA. They were reminiscent of my previous sensei. We ended with a rokkyu pretest for J.B.
