ikkyo/nikkyo - tuesday training

I was again half an hour earlier than the training begun. Had a little chat with daniel sensei beforehand and did some ukemis for myself before class.

Daniel took the lead today.
David, Reinhard, Markus, Anita and *forgotthenameagain* were present today as well. I was again the only white belt. As usual, when i'm the only white belt, it became quite an advanced training today.

Daniel's theme this week is ikkyo and nikkyo. This is what we trained today the whole training.

Ikkyo positive - worked quite good. Got it right. Still got some problems to perform it in the correct angle for a kata (e.g. you'll have to look at the jury when putting down uke).

Ikkyo negative - Since we worked hard on positive, there was not enought time for me to perform it more than twice. Still got some problem in walking in while turning around. Found out that it is really still dependant with whom i perform the technique.

Nikkyo - Since i'm an absolute begginer, I only focused on the first parts of nikkyo. Taking the hand correctly, walking in correctly, finding the pushing point.

It was quite good to repeat those techniques again. I got it right but still make a lot of small faults.

Quite relaxed after training even when it was an advanced training.

Yours,

Lemy
