Ringsend Dojo. 17 May 2022. or No mats? No Problems!

-

Today we could not access our regular place in Ringsend Community Centre as the key was locked in the office. So we practised in another room without mats. Such practice helps to better understand safe ukemi and forges the spirit of the practitioners. The old dojo of Aikido Founder in Iwama had no mats, so we could feel the old-fashioned practice on our bodies today. No one complained, even the beginner who came to practise with us today.

The ceiling in the substitution room was too low, so we were limited to tai-jutsu (empty-handed) techniques:

  • Hanmi:
    • Migi Hanmi
    • Hidari Hanmi
  • Tai Sabaki:
    • Irimi
    • Tenkan
    • Irimi-Tenkan
  • Tai no Henko
  • Tai no Henko Ki no Nagare
  • Tai no Henko (Irimi variation)
  • Katatedori Kokyuho
  • Kosadori Ikkyo Omote
  • Kosadori Kotegaeshi
  • Katatedori Kotegaeshi
  • Zagi Kokyuho

Location: Thorncastle St, Dublin, Co. Dublin, Ireland
