Wednesday Night at the Dojo 3/28

Aikidokas: Tim.

Ukemi: Took some big falls in the more dynamic routine (i.e., throw a punch at tori, tori reacts and throws either sumi or kote). They were successful, but I need to think about spreading legs apart before the landing. I was able to walk after last night's, but that might not always be the case.

The Walk: per usual.

Name no Waza (sp?) (way of the wave, bhakwas) was the task for the evening. Take all 8 releases (plus the alternate approaches for 2 and 4) and turn them into a series of techniques that uke works his way out of until the terminal technique.

Terminal techniques: Kote-gaeshi, Hiki-taoshi and Sumi-otoshi

One path is: 6,7,8,9
Another one is: 15,14,8,9

Let's see what I can remember of the paths

Release 1: t6, t7, t8, t9
Release 2: r5, t6, t7, t8, t9
Release 2b: t15, t14, t8, t9
Release 3: t10, t1, t12 (?)
Release 4: r7, ........
Release 5: ............

Hmmm. Not remembering much beyond that.

Did some discussion of the transition from t7 to t8, how uke causes 8 to occur after 7 has been forced out of.

Aftermath: None of note.
