Great beginners' class

Aiki with Vincent and Amanda
  • ROM and ukemi
  • tegatana - the first half of the exercise with emphasis on evasion
  • partner evasion exercise
  • wrist release #1 from the perspective of tori attempting to evade and brush off and uke being fast and accurate enough to grab and stop the evasion, causing relese #1.
  • oshitaoshi (the arm push-down, A.K.A. ikkyo omote)
  • stab-twice randori with emphasis on evasion and brush-off back to ma-ai
