Aikido Saturday Afternoon - 11/19/2011

Aikido players: Tim, Trey, Marvin, and Gail

Ukemi:

Full set

The Walk:

Twice

Releases:

I worked with Marvin.  He did pretty well.

Techniques:

I worked with Marvin on Shomen-ate and Aigamae-ate.  He's coming along on them

After that, Trey and I worked on some Yon Kata stuff for me and some San Kata stuff for him.  We were pretty crappy.  We moved down a bit and worked on Kata Otoshi in order to pare things down to just timing.  Really, for the higher kata stuff, if your timing sucks, work on Kata Otoshi, then move up to the garumas and then on to whatever you were having problems with.

It's a bitch, but it helps.


Aftermath:

None of note.
