Well for the last three weeks I have been super ill but even though I still have a chest infection I had to train as I was missing out of some great training time!
I arrived at the new dojo location which is nice, bigger and we now have the added benefit of using the equipment there which is nice.
I got changed in the change room and waited on people arriving. Rene came and then Brown belt and we chatted about things and then went into the hall.
We did a few rolls and then joined in with the Jiu Jutsu class to do some mad locks and throws.
The class finished and we started Aikido where Brent Sensei had a little amnesia and forgot the warm-up and stuff, this was nice to see that even Sensei can lose it some times,still human...
We then did the technique where you catch the arm,turn and throw them because the elbow is locked (Forgot the name but it hurts a lot).
We did that and then Sensei placed on into the middle of the mat and we all attacked him then each one was in the middle getting attacked by every one.
I wheezed my way through that and then we did the infamous cross your arms in front of you and then lay on your chest so you can't breath technique where I almost died!
Then Brent Sensei asked that we do 30 rolls one after another, but I managed 15 before I almost threw up.
Was a nice first lesson back, I missed it ...a lot!!
