Saturday at the Dojo 3/3

Aikidokas: Tim and Oliver.

Ukemi: Not bad.

The Walk: as usual.

Releases: Worked with Oliver.

Techniques: actually just one technique: Kote-gaeshi.

We spent about an hour and a half on Kote-gaeshi.

We started out feeling the off-balances and progressed to roll-outs and then big falls from a warm-up approach. Then we worked from the actual kata type attack.

I spent most of the time as uke, to give Oliver time to get familiar with the technique. He made great strides and I had a good time with the various roll-outs, big falls, etc. that were a part of the day.

Aftermath: The back was a little sore.
