Last night in Judo / Self-Defence, we looked at Aikido Joint Locks, specifically first teaching (elbow), second teaching (wrist), and third teaching (wrist). 

While our instructor gave the demonstration, I thought “circles, waves, & sword” to get myself in the mindset of the type of movement required. 

Aikido is very fluid and beautiful. It’s incredible how a seemingly minor adjustment in positioning can cause max pain.

It’s helpful for me to write and share what I learn in English since my classes are in French. I guess this is a type of reflection / journal entry. It will be funny to look back and read my beginner notes in a few years. 

Plus, I always appreciate the feedback you guys leave in the comments.
