New green belt

Aiki with Kel
  • Warmup, ukemi
  • Green belt demo for Kel: tegatana, hanasu, Nijusan #1-5. Good job on all of it. Gedanate needs work (but mine does too). Remember same-hand-same-foot on the releases. Work on turning your whole body (i.e. your back hip and shoulder into the pushes during tegatana.
  • One run-through of Shichihon to refresh the order
  • Chain #2, including kotetaoshi and gyakugamae ate
  • Randori for the rest of class
