This evening we looked at introducing Tomiki Aikido to some new people, we looked at some throwing techniques, Randori distance drills, Hikitatigeiko and hip throwing, fallowed by some back2back exercises.

We look forward to next week for our 2nd open evening introducing people to our crazy hobby 😂

Not our usual environment but a team trip out bowling in Huddersfield @ The Light today, still as competitive as ever 😂
