23: January 26, Saturday 18:15

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.
