Bokken - Saturdays Training

Since i did not have the time to blog on weekend, i write this entry a bit late. Therefore i cannot remember each detail, sorry for this :)

Daniel Sensei was back from holiday and joined the training, whereas he already took the lead again. (They mentioned he was already back for thursdays training but i'm not training at thursdays...)

Warmup with shinkokyu as usual and stretching.

Then we did some handgrabbing techniques from behind with shihonage at the end. I trained it with romolo. Funny he had quite the same problems as i had. Didn't expect this from a dan aikidoka :) But this tells me: Learning will never end! I have to remember this forever.

Then, since it was really hot in the dojo, especially in the tatami zone, we spent the rest of the lession with bokken training. We begun studiing a kata from Walter Oelschlaeger (a well known profi-aikidoka sensei here in europe, sensei of the 3a / Académie Autonome d'Aikido).

Quite fun again and really relaxed after class.

Yours

Lemy
