Court Ruling: "You get the CHAIR!"
I don't know how you do things in YOUR dojo.... but I find this to be a great exercise to reduce the muscle strength that guys tend to use instead of letting Aikido Work for them. If I find you "muscleing" thru technique you get THE CHAIR!

The offending Uke gets to "take a break" by stading in the Hamni of their choice, extending two unbendable arms, then they get to hold up the chair.... when the arms start quaking considerably, Uke is off the hook, and gets to try technique again....

If Uke is unable to hold the chair for whatever reason, holding a couple of Suburi Bokkens, extended to the left and right, in each hand (like a bird) does the trick as well. I also like the Rec. Center at UNCW... The Aerobics Room where UNCW has their classes comes complete with handy, dandy, 10 lb. weights! -BK
Thursday Testing was a breeze, man!
Laura - President of the UNCW Aikido Club, gets her 6th kyu after a test WELL EXECUTED!
The last Thursday of Every Month is dedicated to testing, and anyone who is ready/qualified will be tested for their next grade level. February's Testing was a breeze for the three candidates... We had two 6th Kyu Tests and one 4th Kyu test. All were well executed. The Udansha had no complaints... and there were lots of "ooohs, and aaaahs" from our end of the mat.

We were especially Brutal on Tony V. keeping the heat on, especially for Uke... but no matter how much we turned it on, Tony kept right on, with no sign of faltering. Well Done! More pics and comment to come.
Come-On! Give me some LOVE!!!
