Ikkajo Jamboree

Today's class was divided into 2 groups, beginners and intermediate/advanced students. The beginners had their first nikajo class, and it looked like they were enjoying themselves. Nikajo is a difficult control, and the correct hand position is quite subtle. I still have trouble with it.

The other students, Sao-chan, Oxford, and Big Drew and I, worked on different ikkajo techniques from Sao-chan's shodan (1st degree blackbelt) test list. Some of them are quite difficult and unfamiliar to me, but I enjoyed practicing them. I'm just glad I'm not the one being tested on them.
