Aikido Saturday Afternoon - 2/19/11

Aikido players:  Tim, Trey, Troy, Brad, and Marvin.

Ukemi:  Normal ukemi.  I helped Marvin start taking falls from his knees instead of the ground-level falls.

The Walk: Twice.  I then worked with Marvin on stones 7, 8, and 9.  We then ran through the entire walk up to that point several times.


Releases: I introduced Marvin to the first release.


Techniques:

Marvin did some work with the Belt Bump the Dummy and Strike the Dummy drills.  We also did some walking drills, trying to get him to slide instead of lifting his feet.  We also did some work on Sugi Ashi (sp?) walking for Brad and Marvin.

I worked with Brad on 6-10 of Ju Nana Hon Kata while Tim watched.



Aftermath:

None of note.
