Aikido Saturday Afternoon - 7/1/17 - Clear Creek Aikido

Aikido players:

Trey

Ukemi:

None

The Walk:

Not today.

Releases:

Not today.

Techniques:

Trey and I continued our investigation/theorizing on improvements in teaching aikido.  We worked on techniques 5, 6, & 7.  We played with the off-balances of #5 and explored it in more detail, finding planted heels and corner throws, etc.


We also came up with a possible new "kata" that will explore the footwork for the first five techniques before the students ever get to lay hands on an uke.  We want them to get very familiar with the footwork as one of the principle parts to a technique.

Commentary:

We played at Trey's house as the new dojo is under a contested lease status.  Maybe we'll hear word on some sort of resolution soon.
