Yoshinkan Aikido

A training journal of my experiences at the Brisbane Dojo of Yoshinkan Aikido

Phew !!! 41 degrees Celcius over the weekend. How hot is that !!

Not many people trained in that heat. My head felt like it was going to explode and I almost got physically sick. I guess it is good conditioning. If I can stand that I can take on anything.

I asked Sensei about the footwork question that was on my mind. I don't really understand his answer and I wonder if the real truth has been lost over time. Sensei said the lead foot is now turned outwards to make it easier to turn with techniques. I don't understand how this makes anything easier. It feels the same to me whether my foot is straight or turned outwards.

It would be good to see what people do at other schools and compare. Anyway, I continue to train to prepare for grading in March. OSU.
