Aikido Saturday Afternoon - 5/2/15

Aikido players:

Tim, Trey, Mario, Marvin, Gail, Dan, and John

Ukemi:

Got in none of my own, watched over everyone else.

The Walk:

Not today.

Releases:

Not today.

Techniques:

Today was weird.  During warm-up ukemi folks were attempting Sumi-otoshi and Kote gaeshi.  We noticed all sorts of grabbing occurring.  Trey found some sparring target gloves and made tori wear them while attempting the throw.  They couldn't get the final "kata" form of the throw, but they did get appropriate roll-outs.

Trey and I worked on the first 4 knife defenses for an hour after the kyu grades left.


Aftermath:

None of note.
