Well it was my second lesson and I turned up and slowly got ready as the sensei took the Jiu Jutsu class.
I watched intently as he was explaining pressure points and how to do them and how effective they are!
The others arrived and we chatted as we got changed.
The Jiu Jutsu lesson ended and we put out a few more mats and got ready for the group warm up. Brent explained how it works and we carried on warming up,stretching and so forth.
The feeling of family came over me and my mind was 10% focused on the Aikido and its application,I thought nothing but Aikido which is strange as this is one of the first times this has happened and I knew I had picked the right place for me!
We then did a kind of Kata and movement which I tried and was rather hard for me to do and them after that I was tested on my skill.
I proved that I knew my stuff even though I was "New" in his dojo and style yet I knew the basics for what Aikido was and how it is applied!
Then I was tested as UKE.
I was thrown, slammed and beaten for about 20 minutes and proved that I was an outstanding UKE, which was nice to hear and boosted me to no end.
Another super great lesson and I can't wait for next week.
