aikido on 3 hours of sleep

UGH. I didn't want to get up this morning (what's new?)

Bob Sensei taught//

Same attack entire class--
shomenuchi, but starting statically from the initial swing up where you are in ai hanmi and your arms are meeting-- uke and nage pressing against each other.

iriminage (backstretch/ukemi)
W/Scott H. He gave me a lot of helpful pointers, and he also reminded me to give commited attacks. (we accidently did the entire shomenuchi attack)
He also told me I needed to be more assertive while drawing his head to my shoulder on the tenkan. He said "I'm attacking you, do with me what you will!" lol Apparently I was being too nice. ^_^

kotegaeshi (ura)
same partner..corrected my kotegaeshi, but only had to do it once. He also helped me a little with the nikkyo pin on the turnover. He said to draw his hand in tighter and to use my tekatana (hand blade) and place it on his elbow while bowing towards his head. He also noted my shoulder flexability on the nikkyo..heh. At first he was being very careful, but then he realized my shoulder is stubborn, so he gave up on that real quick. We got a little goofy on the mat when Bob Sensei walked by... forgot our place. He asked if it was his turn or mine. I told him not to rely on my homeschool math..heh

Shihonage (omote/ura)
W/katie. Only thing to note? My shihonage is AWFUL. I'm getting to the point where I cringe every time sensei demonstrates it. hehe At least iriminage has fallen to my second worst executed technique on the list. ;)

Ikkyo (omote/ura)
W/katie.

kokyudosa
W/katie.

Good class-- had to go straight to work though...ick.. I feel like a wet towel. I think I'll go shower now :)
