Monday Night at the Dojo 4/30

Aikidokas: Randy, John, Greg and Kim.

Ukemi: Not bad.

The Walk: As usual

Releases: with John

Techniques: with Greg

Ran through 1-14 with me as tori. And then 1-10 with Greg as tori.

Man, was I rusty.

I was entering the techniques at the wrong angle on most of them. Our spacing on the 3-step approach was off a bit, so that may have contributed to all sorts of issues. Other specifics, hmmm.

Ushiro-ate: ended up spinning Greg around far more than I should have.

Kote-gaeshi: ended with my hands to high, causing Greg to struggle to land well.

Shihonage: ended up walking Greg around the mat on one. Obviously missed on off-balance. Probably the third one.

Aftermath: It was nice to have some more players on the mat.
