Basic:
Hiriki no Yosei-1&2 with partner
Technique:
Suwariwaza Shomen Uchi Kotegaeshi-1&2
Ushirowaza Eri Mochi Ikkajo Osae-1
Note:
Class of 4,
Kotegaeshi: I certainly have a problem with my Kotegaeshi, especially with Suwari ones. I just cant get the feeling like I "get" Kotegaeshi. Applying Kotegaeshi is straight forward, for either you are stepping forward or pivotting. I am still twisting as my body goes off from my center line...UMM...
Ushiro Eri Mochi: Ducking under Uke's arm part is quite tough, its not bending over...that makes it lose your kamae, which is bad. This is one of rare movements among the others, so it needs a lot of practice, I suppose.

Basic:
Technique:
Yokomen Uchi Shihonage-1&2
Katate Mochi Ikkajo Osae-1
Note:
Class of 3. Working on the details...Defining me as an annoying memory woman...my memory is pretty good that's how always has been for a lot of things, not perfect just pretty good. Its also working for remembering Aikido techniques. So, I don't have so much hard time remembering them, yet knowing the movements and being able to find the circle with different people is totally a different thing, or so I define...so I had the hard time (again) with 2 different body type people to do the same techniques.
Changing the intention change the effort. I used to think applying the technique is to try putting (or forcing) uke on the spot where I want uke to be. But I realized that guiding Uke to where they dont want to go without uke knowing is just enough. I was again doing the forcing this morning, so I have to remember guiding when I do the technique.
Although, there are so many things to remember...no wonder it takes time for the body to learn all these things.

The secret of Nikajo is revealed! or not...
Basic
Kihon Dosa
Roll practice
Technique:
Yokomen Uchi Nikajo Osae-1 & 2
Note:
Class of 2. Ended up revealing the secret of Nikajo..."lock, lock, off..." was what we came up.
Knowing the secret and being able to apply it is a different story...so lets see how its going to go.
What I feel learning much more details of the techniques is the way to be able to move/use your body in the ways you ever imagine in the normal life. Thats not an easy thing.
I used to not like training Sankajo-2 and Nikajo (any) for over a year... because I could not move big people with them. So many times I wanted to cry in the middle of the technique not knowing what to do... " practice only makes it better" is a fact that I have to trust. Sankajo is eventually and slowly coming so I suppose Nikajo will too... or so I trust and keep training...
Well, well well... time indeed flies or it feels more like disappearing. Shochugeiko was over 3 weeks ago, and so was embu. Summer schedule is really tough on top of "the heat" of Tokyo... its such a big challenge just to go through it... And I'm getting busier at work every year! for the last 3 years. But I think its safe to say "summer 2007" is over, although it still gets hot in the dojo...
October is already within reach, its time to prepare for my next test. It felt like it would be so far in the future when I came up with the plan for the black belt test 2 and half years ago with Stumpy. (Or I dragged out Stumpy to come up with the plan for me is the better way to describe it.) I think the key thing for me to do in the next 2 and half months is to keep the good condition, not to get freak out too much (if i can...). I can keep it in my mind but all I can really do is lets see how its going to go : )
