No really, I AM back this time...

Last night i signed up for Aikido (1 month). The class had about 10 people in it and the mat is fairly large - comparable to the judo mats at Ishi Yama only with about 1/2 the student.

We started off with about 20 minutes of stretching and warmup.  Nothing strenuous by any means. we moved into ukemi and then into about 4 or 5 different techniques.  The techniques that we worked on were essentially all wrist grab variations. Some I was familiar with, others were familiar but with a slight variation, and others were completely new to me.  We finished off the class with some bokken techniques.

So far so good.  I'm looking forward to Thursday's class.
