i know everyone has different opinions on things but i beleive u should definatly master the breakfall's straight up otherwise how can u fall properly when being the uke doing a basic technique?
oh and i will try and get some pic's or a video for you guys hey.

the hardest lesson i have had to date ,
it was katamochi ikkajo osae ni
getting the lock at the end was increadibly hard it took me all lesson to even understand to getting it right....even then im sure not all of it is right...im afraid im slowing down the learning process for all the others and im afraid im fustrating them i just have to keep training . sometimes i wonder why do the black belts come to the basic lessons...when they r so good at it and really all they r doing is teaching others...is that why? to teach others?
anyhow i am learning! and there is so much to learn!!! arg!!!

My thoughts of it after getting out of the class…wow…. there is so much to learn.
It’s a lot harder then I thought and its amazing some of the techniques they teach you.
Its all in Japanese and its very tough but everyone is very nice I just hope I get used to it quick. I have so much to do and so far to go. I was tired just after the warm up.
Looking forward to Thursday
How long did it take for u guys to get used to it? What did u guys think of ur first go…did u get used to it?

lesson 10,
quite an enjoyable lesson...i am really loving aikdio...its becoming apart of my life already, im getting more confident with my breakfalls today...i was doing them pretty well....the rolls are coming along ok! going 4 times a week pay's off...hey td how often do you go??
i'd go 6 days a week but as i work it kind of cuts that down to only 4..

in interesting lesson i was getting used to the techniques and was doing alright just learning going pretty good i though...one thing out of the ordanairy was a girl i partnered up with at the end she was also instructing a kids class but the attitude she gave of was your pathetic....she really didnt care what i did at all. ruined the lesson for me..but apart from that everything went aok! im practicing my forward rolls as much as i can just do them by my self...doing them while getting flipped is another story any advice
