Aikido Saturday Afternoon - 3/3/2012

Aikido players: Brad, Marvin, Gale, Steve, Liz and Charles (the last two are new students) This was a tough session for me to run with only one other non-white belt.

Ukemi:

Worked with Liz and Charles on introducing them to forward rolls.

The Walk:

Twice as usual and then I spent a fair amount of time with Liz, Charles, and Steve.

Releases:

I worked with Steve on 1, 2, and 3. Also introduced Liz and Charles to the footwork for the first three.

Techniques:

I had everyone run through the punch the dummy drill with me as the dummy. After formal bow out, I worked with Marvin and Gale on 1, 2, and 3.

Aftermath:

2-1/2 hours is a fair amount of work for the poor toe.
