Hi to Room 7!

We were invited to give an Aikido class to Room 7 as part of their cultural studies. It fitted in nicely with lots of other Japanese facts they have picked up over the last week.

The class went for an hour and was enjoyed by everyone.

For their notes:

• We did two techniques: ikkyo (which used the partner's whole arm) and nikyo (which used the partner's wrist)
• The pants (worn over the pajamas) are called a hakama
• It's a good idea to avoid the bug smashers!

Thanks to Andrew Sensei for taking the class and to Mariann and James for helping out.
