Session with Neil Saunders Sensei
Wed, 03 Mar 2010 08:02:36 PST
Last night Gowaryu enjoyed a Yoshinkan flavour with a visit from Meikyokai aikido club, Bexley. Neil Saunders (4th Dan) took the class through the
following exercises;

Kamae
Nikajo/nikkyo/kote mawashi
Sankajo/sankyo/Tenkai kote hineri
Hiji ate/Mae otoshi
Kotegaeshi
Iriminage
Kokyu ho
Osae waza

The evening was mainly focused on the importance of good kamae (posture), but while being relaxed. We liked how resistance from uke made no difference to the techniques, yet there was no discernable pain compliance used in locks.

Many of the techniques were focused on disturbing uke's balance through the shoulder.

Our thanks again go to Neil Saunders, Dave Clarke, Mark Atkinson, and Rob Cole for coming down. A thoroughly interesting and enjoyable evening was had by all.
