Techniques:


Laura, Willie, and James worked together.

Adam and I worked on his Koryu Dai San.  We did not really have too many issue.  Adam took it eay on my wrist on the troublesome techniques, so the techniques were not as solid as they could have been, but they were close enough that I took the throws to save my joints.

Commentary:
Prior to class, I went and visited another dojo.  This dojo had a 9th dan in my style as the instructor.  I didn't realize someone of that stature was in our area.  He started with Karl in '64 with judo and then came back in '77 to work on aikido.

Unfortunately. the class times are inconvenient given my other class.

Techniques:

Adam and I worked on his Koryu Dai San.  We had issues with: kneeling shihonage and knife kote gaeshi.  We did enough of these two techniques that my wrist complained for a couple of days.  I really do need to continue to police the number of reps I do on these specific techniques as uke.

Aikido players:

John, Adam, Laura, Willie, and James

Ukemi:

Normal slaps and  rolls.

The Walk:

Twice.

Releases:

Laura, Willie,  and James worked together.

Techniques:

Adam and I worked on his Koryu Dai San with both of us in hakamas.  His was a different style than mine, so the method I use to tie mine does not really work for him.

We had issues with:

kneeling shihonage
#2 standing
#3 tanto
#6 tanto
#8 tanto
no major issues with any jo or bokken work other than issues caused by working in a hakama.

Commentary:

None of note.

Aikido Thursday Night - 11/9/17 - Wasabi Dojo

Aikido players:

Adam, Laura, Willie, and James (a new student)

Ukemi:

Normal slaps and introduced James to rolls.

The Walk:

Twice, and then Laura and Willie worked with James.

Releases:

Laura and Willie worked with James.  Adam and I did some demonstrations at the end, but we ended up doing Yon Kata releases instead of normal ones.

Techniques:

Adam and I worked on his Koryu Dai San.  We had issues with: kneeling shihonage, #3 from tanto section, Kote gaeshi from tanto, and #1 from bokken.  Not many issues, but some of them were severe.  My guess is this was a big learning night for his brain.  Usually, if someone has severe issues with a technique that he can normally do, the next time will be much improved.

Commentary:

A very similar class to Tuesday.
