On Monday 15th November, Genryukan Aikido will be receiving Neil Saunders Sensei from Meikyokai Aikido, and some of this students.
This will give our students a chance to experience Yoshinkan Aikido.
The session will be at the Clarendon & Westbury Community Centre in Dover, from 7:00pm to 9:00pm.
Recap of last night session:
Warmup & stretches
Kamae practice and testing
Technique No 6, Oshi Taoshi
Technique No 7, Ude Gaeshi
(demonstrated here by Shaun Hoddy Sensei)
Focusing on keeping good posture, all the way through.
Avoid pulling or pushing using upper body strength by simply keeping the arms extended as in the “unbendable arm” and use the whole body and the correct angle to break uke’s balance.
Defence against grabs
Single handed grab (both cross and opposite grab), using nikkyo or kote mawashi
double handed grab to the chest or shoulders, using a simple hip turn or cutting down and stepping back.
