15: Saturday 6:15 : January 21, 2006

Basic:
Forward Breakfalls
by using a bag to jump
by using a tatami line to go straight

Yokomen Uchi Practice
Right hand, and with Left hand for striking
Snapping with wrist, and with elbow

Blocking by stepping in as Shite, and with punch

Technique:
Yokomen Uchi Kokyu Nage (not sure for the name, probably not a basic technique)

Note:
Class of 5, it was snowing!!

Lots of Yokomen Uchi Practice, step by step. It takes some time to realize what I have learned for these type of classes.

I had a sensational break for my Forward Roll by landing with the right side of my fist. That way, its so much painless, better circle, better for everything. Yet later on, I came to reaize that its not for a flip, the one for the flip should come later ; )

It was too bad that my bruise on the back hand was almost gone and couldnt show Chris the result from Thrusday. I really couldnt tell that was from David or Chris, according to David, its from Chris, so I told him so but he did not like hearing, and claimed it can't happen from Nikajo.

Its totally amazing to see others rapid improvements which happens sometimes. Also, its a great oppotunity to realize Aikido only comes with training.

Not so so much moving around training session, there was a lot to learn, and it was quite entertaining to see Chris trying to smash Stumpy on the mat with his full strength.
