Today in the Ringsend Dojo we practised in the next-door cabin without mats, so ukemi were very limited. Today we were only two with Y, so the training was more like Q&A session rather than traditional practice: some techniques were practised properly, while others were shortly discussed highlighting the tricky points.  Tai no Henko Tai no Henko Ki no Nagare Katatedori Kokyuho Morotedori Kokyuho Katadori Ikkyo Omote Henka Katadori Menuchi Ikkyo and Shihonage (short discussion)  Tantodori (short discussion) tsuki kotegaeshi, kokyuho, kokyunage, gokyo, rokkyo; consecutive cuts: ma-ai principles; yokomen uchi: wrist control Yokomen Uchi Kokyunage Yokomen Uchi Kokyuho Shomen Uchi Kokyuho Kihon & Ki no Nagare Tsuki Kokyuho Ushiro Ryotedori and Ushiro Katatemunedori - discussed  Katatedori Koshinage #aikido #aikidodublin #takemusuaikidofingal #todaypractice #iwamaaikido #RICC

Today in the Ringsend dojo we had to move from the boxing gym to the next-door cabin. The place was lovely but lacked mats, so we had to be a little more careful with ukemi. The beginner who joined our outdoor class continued the practice in RICC, so as usual in such cases we focused on the very basics.
