Saturdays Training

Much more students in class today. Markus, 2nd dan, took the lead today.
There were 3 dans (one of them a former student of the dojo on a visit), 1 orange, 2 yellow and 3 white belts (including me).

As a warmup, some rollings and ukemis. No kokyu at all today.

The whole session we trained on our Jo kata we're training for a couple of weeks now. Daniel gave order to train it further while his absence. It was good to repeat everything from the beginning again since i've forgotten many details since the last time. We focused on the feet movements toady since this is special for this kata/style. Markus explained from whom this kata is but i forgot it again (maybe i should learn japanese as well as a help?). Anyway it was good and i learned a lot today which i can use with my new own Jo at home for myself.

After class (4 of us remained), markus brought his sword and showed us some iaido katas. It seems markus is training a lot of those budo sports. These were really impressive and it gave me a taste for it that i'm going to watch kill bill 1 & 2 stright away right now :)

Yours,

Lemy

Hey Lemy,
between your lines one can cleary read, that you're taking this very serious, and that you're very impressed of aikido and marial art in general.
This blogg is a good way to recapitulate your lesson, and to internalize what you've learned.
Go on, I'm sure this is a great art you are learning..
cheers harry
