Thursday Night at the Dojo

Aikidokas: Oliver and Shiela.

Was the only aikidoka for a while so I spent 15 - 20 minutes each on ukemi and the Walk.

Ukemi: Not bad. Working on popping up smoothly after the falls as opposed to just landing on the mat. It seems I ping my shoulders more often if I'm trying to pop up. Not sure why. It was nice having the time to just roll around.

The Walk: repetition, repetition, repetition. Did it a number of times. Did it some more when Oliver and Shiela arrived.

I sat as joseki for Oliver and Shiela to practice the demonstration.

Aftermath: Back to the dojo tonight for the actual demonstration. Might take Saturday off.
