Kangeiko: day 7

Kangeiko continues and I'm happy to say I've attended every day thus far. Only three days left. Attendance has been great, with about eight students on the mat everyday. I definitely feel I've gotten back into the groove of attending Aikido every day, even to the point where my body naturally wakes up as the alarm is going off.

Today was shomen iriminage (forward entry throw) and Stumpy ran us through four or five kihon waza (basic techniques) before moving on to some complicated ayamochi (opposite hand grab) and ushiro (attack from behind) techniques. I was able to get the basic footwork down, but I wasn't able to find the "line" in the technique.I guess I'll save that for another day.

Osu!
