Aikido players:

Tim, Mario, and Dan

Ukemi:

None for me, but I did get to throw the other guys with Kata Otoshi to get them to fall with a variant roll during warm-ups.  My goal was to be late with the throw to cause them to cross over with their left foot for a rollout.

The Walk:

Not today.

Releases:

They ran through them all with an extended end portion so they could work on the footwork.

Techniques:

Mario was tori for the day.  He ran through 1-10 with Dan as uke.  I jumped in for a bit on Hiki Taoshi.

Aftermath:

None of note.

Aikido Saturday Afternoon - 1/17/15

Aikido players:

Tim, Mario, and Marvin

Ukemi:

I got in a double set.  Mario and MArvin did work on throwing each other with the sumi otoshi warm up throw.

Mario threw me once with sumi where his hand was about 9 inches off the mat.  I got over in time, but it was a heck of an unpleasant surprise.

The Walk:

Not today.

Releases:

Not today.

Techniques:

We spent a good portion of the day working on sumi otoshi.  Did some flowing from that to Gedan ate and shihonage.


Aftermath:

Shoulder is still in need of popping or something.  Going to try sleeping with that should propped on a pillow for a few days and see if that resolves it.  Otherwise, may go to a chriopracter.

Volleyball, 1-2

We played "Good Volley Ms Molly" last night, for our last match of the season.  We lost the first two games fairly convincingly.  We won the third game fairly convincingly.  It'd been several weeks since we played, so I'm not surprised by the results.

We didn't make it into the playoffs (not surprisingly), so we're off next week, and probably the following.  After that, a new season starts.

None for me, I was running late so did not get in any before class started.  Watched over everyone else.

The Walk:

Twice. 

Releases:

Not today.

Techniques:

We did round robin work on 11-14.

At the end I uked for everyone on Waki Gatame.  My shoulder needed popping and I thought it be accomplished with the arm bar.  The should is a little better afterwards, but it's apparent that we need to work on the technique.

Aftermath:

None of note.

Mario, Kim, and John

Ukemi:

The Walk:

We ran through the Walk a couple of times tonight.  Folks are having trouble synchronizing with the count, so I used a metronome app on my phone to make certain that the count was consistent.  Mario still had some issues

Releases:

Not on Thursdays

Techniques:

We worked on Hiki Otoshi.  I threw everyone a couple of times so they'd get the feel for it.  We then worked on the footwork, and then the handwork.  Still got a bit to go.
