Monday Night at the Dojo 3/26

Aikidokas: Randy, Kim, and Rich. Rich has just moved into the area and is checking us out. He's got approximately 10 years of aikido experience in different styles. This is his first exposure to Tomiki-ryu.

Ukemi: Not bad. I threw Kim on some warm-up big throws.

The Walk: We did one with all of us, then Kim and I did a rep on our own. I had her count and she did well. The first time is very mind-altering.

Releases: Worked with Kim. The height difference threw me. We both had issues

Techniques: with Kim.

Ran through the first 5 with Kim and then did some work on her #6. Getting the footwork is the difficult part of this one when you're moving upo from the first 5.

We then did some work on Waki-gatame. she made a bit of progress that will show up when she next works with someone who's not a freak of nature.

Aftermath: None of note. Generally sore, probably from sitting and driving all weekend.
