Note:
Class of 7, with 2 Senseis. Kangeiko Started with 7 people. Hope to have more people in the next 10 days.
My worst Uke technique...Shihonage...I hit my head 3 times today on the demo. I tried to find the spot before going down, still my body made a turn in peculiar direction. I need to find the right position to put myself before fall comes.

Where you position yourself to do warm ups decides what your next 90 mins going to be...sometimes.
All Sokumen Iriminage
Basic:
Tai no Henko-1 & 2 with partner
Technique:
Katate Mochi Sokumen Iriminage-1
Hiji Mochi Sokumen Iriminage-2
Yokomen Uchi Sokumen Iriminage
Yokomen Uchi, Yonkajo, Sokumen Iriminage
Note:
Class of 5 with 2 Senseis. I was paired up with One of Senseis...for the whole 90 mins!
I did not break (barely), and survived!
I hate being so bad at falling backwards...actually, I'm pretty tired of being so bad at it.
I feels like I do NOT have the space to go around, and I end up smashing myself onto the mat.
It could be an angle, or distance I am having with Shite.
I know there was a huge improvement in my Uke for Suwari techniques as I somehow learned how to use my shoulder to bounce back. Its not quite the same for Tachi techniques since I am VERY vertically challenged, still there must be a way to do it better.
I should add this topic to my Aikido goal for this year.

Series continues...
Ushiro Sankajo
Yokomen Uchi Shihonage-1
and more...
Note:
Class of 2. As the series continues, the amazing discovery continues as well.
We learn as we try to imitate what teachers are doing, but many times the interpretation is not quite the way they are doing. For example, how you put yourself preparing to fall is very important, maybe more than falling itself.

Move with your hip, don't leave any of your body parts behind.
Basic
Kamae (staying still while you are pulled, pushed)
Having that Kamae as a basic stance, Hiriki no Yosei-1 & 2 with partner
Technique
Ryote Mochi Shihonage-1 and Hajime
Ryote Mochi Shihonage-2 and Hajime
Note:
Class of 6. I could say..."Hajime" was the least I was expecting to do today...the funny thing about going through those exhausting exercise is how you regain your control as you reach to the certain tiring point. Or your body gets used to the motions you are repeating and you will see better after certain amount of time. Anyways, I always find it fascinating to find those unexpected regaining consciousness when I go beyond the certain tired point.

To learn when and how to move as Uke is like what you do when you drive into the yellow signal at the intersection. It requires skill to judge the distance and time you have to go or stop before it tunrs into red as being aware of the cars following you at the same time. It takes practice but you will get it eventually.
Uke Practice Series 1
Nikajo
Sankajo
Note:
Class of 2. Learning When and What to do as Uke can be very tough... if you move too fast, your Shite can not even apply what he/she is supposed to do, but if you move too slow... you mostly have to take all the pain even unnecesarily.

3: January 9, Wednesday 7:00
Basic:
Shikkoho
180 pivot
Hiriki no Yosei-2
Technique:
Shomen Uchi Shomen Iriminage-2
at the end,
Kind of Hajime Style by changing the partner around for a few minutes.
Note:
Class of 6, I did not move much, or it felt like that way for some reason. But I was hungry for the last half an hour, not taking VAAM in between the classes was not a good idea. I will make sure to take one tomorrow.
Shomen Iriminage-2 is a big/long technique, its hard to remember in the beginning and its hard to do even you know the steps, still its a very neat technique. You can get easily confused where you are by turning around 360 degrees in one shot. It becomes a lot easier once you understand the mechanism, but it takes time...I don't even remember how long it took me...Yet, again once you realize what needs to be done and your body starts to stay in Kamae...there really is not much moving around...is how I see it now.
Bicycle ride is great! Even it has a killer hill around Iikura area, still enjoyable. Although, it changed the whole morning pattern of mine, like drinking coffee is not possible as riding a bike and stuff... It should start coming around in a few weeks or so, but it feels much better to be able to commute by bike (except for the rainy day)

-Hiriki no Yosei-1 & 2
-Shumatsu Dosa- 1 & 2
Technique:
Katate Mochi Shihonage-1
Shomen Uchi Ikkajo Osae-2
Shumatsu Dosa with partner
Note:
The opening class of the year. Class of 5 with Roland Sensei. Kept working on 3 pairs.
The first day back is always hard, and always makes me realize it would be easier to keep training. Today, I was questioning myself with anything we did, "I'm supposed to know how to do this, but it doesnt feel like I do at all!"
It should take like a week for things to come back...
I had a night shift last night so had to work late, it was hard getting up at 5 after 3 weeks but it was good to remember how it feels to train in the morning. It is hard, but its better to have Aikido in the beginnig of the day.
