In the speed...
Taisabaki practice
Shomen Uchi, Shomen Uchi Hijiate Kokyunage
Yokomen Uchi, Yokomen Uchi Kotegaeshi
Note:
Class of 6, move in the speed, feel the rhythm class.
2 sets of Kagari geiko...Sensei told us to keep moving fast. I can not quite keep everything with speed...so I lost kamae (did not mean to do but I did) and kept on speed. However, I do like moving in rhythm, yet I have tendency to get too excited...thats what I have been working on try not to get too excited...sigh...
One thing at a time...not to get sloppy in speed.

Katate Mochi Shihonage-1&2
Shomen Uchi Ikkajo Osae- 1&2
Katate Mochi Nikajo Osae-1&2
Yokomen Uchi Sankajo Osae-1&2
Shomen Uchi Yonkajo Osae-1&2
Katate Mochi Sokumen Iriminage-1&2
Shomen Uchi Shomen Iriminage-1&2
Kata Mochi Hijishime-1
Note: Class of 3. We kept on going the Dai Ichi Techniques without stopping. 15 techniques x 3...45 techniques in 50 mins...but Osae techniques takes longer than Nage ones...so...thats just a start, let's see how we'll do at the end of summer.
I was aiming to go too fast...but I found myself having not enough kamae all way through any techniques, found sometimes even my weight shifting in the middle point...of course, my movement was very weak, and used strength time to time...
3 weeks off costing me quite a bit...gained some weight is not helping either. Ummmmm.....really need to focus more and push more at every moment.
I don't like my Aikido becomes sloppy.

Shomen Uchi Nikajo Osae 1 & 2 in Tachi and Suwari
Ushirowaza Eri Mochi Ikkajo Osae-1
Note:
Class of 3. We kept on going with 5 techniques...without words!
It was interesting to work on Tachi and Suwari techniques at the same time.
Suwari waza takes much more effort...as its easier to walk on foot rather than knees...maybe ; )
And I always get confused for pivoting work on Suwari techniques...which part you CAN walk (knee walk) or CAN NOT, and I hardly ever remember to push it with my back knee to go forward.
So so so much to remember...

Sokumen Iriminage
Yokomen Uchi Sokumen Iriminage-2
Suwariwaza Yokomen Uchi Sokumen Iriminage-2
Ushirowaza Ryote Mochi Sokumen Iriminage-2
Ushirowaza Ryote Mochi Sokumen Iriminage-1
Note:
Class of 2.
Throughout the class, I was trying to remember how I used to do this technique in the beginning, and what I did not know in the beginning, and how it is different now from a few years ago...could not come up with much of anything...
The differences I could say is that I may be keeping my kamae better than before when I'm in the technique. I may be pivoting slightly better than 2 years ago...still, I'm sure I would struggle doing this technique with people bigger than me.
However, I realized what I am really doing without thinking to keep my kamae, there is a lot to do actually... but I dont know how I do it, I just do it...I dont think I can do all of it IF I am thinking of doing.
For Ushiro Ryote-2, I think this technique is cool, as simple as it can be. Shite doesnt have to do much at all except regular ushiro egg hands and pivoting...you find Sokumen right there...I think.

Test Training
9th kyu test
Note:
Class of 11...Big class on Wednesday again.
Trained with 4 people, quite new people, I am afraid I did not lead well, it was a bit chaotic.
Its hard to pick the right point, at the right time...

Ikkajo
Shomen Uchi Ikkajo Osae-2
Suwariwaza Shomen Uchi Ikkajo Osae-2
Shomen Uchi Ikkajo Osae-1
Note:
Ikkajo, simple yet powerful technique, and of course difficult : )
I come to realize...I am not putting into much details as Sensei tells us to do.
I was amazed by the fact I was missing so many... have to fix that.
Also, things I started to manage not knowing the exact ways should be cleared as I find them. Today, we have asked how to sit in seiza together for suwariwaza. (that probably sensei told us before...) We come closer from kamae (as hands' cross) and sit together, should end up having 2 fists distance in between.
And the PIN! So much in it...there is no need to hurry to finish, there are so much to do. The key is to continue what you get (this case, Ikkajo with elbow)
I need to work on more with the angle of the last outside step (yet of course, suriashi) with Ikkajo-1, supposed to make the circle with uke's shoulder and my suriashi. I think I was trying to go too far, and losing balance, that I was pointed out the other day, so I fixed it to make it smaller along with different angle. (denied by Mike Sensei...I knew it was coming ; ))
After all, it was not the direction, it was the angle I was not doing quite right.
Very simple technique, makes my brain confused...(that happens often) : )
