Aikido Friday Night - 05/13/11

Aikido players:  Tim, Troy, Sal, and Dan.

Ukemi:

Set of 12 falls.

The Walk:

Twice, as usual.

Releases:

I worked with Sal.

Techniques:

I worked Sal on 6, 7, and 8 of Ju Nana Hon Kata.  Made the usual adjustments on #6 : tori should not "hold" onto uke's wrist.  We then spent some time on the armbar.  Had him get around in front of me more on #7, push out more on the way down and a few minor tweaks on the pin.On #8 we have to get the footwork right on the pivot and get a properly positioned off-balance.

Aftermath:

None of note.
