Contents	- The 5 kihon atemi waza followed by the 5 atemi waza from aigamae grips and the 5 atemi waza from gyakugamae grips. - Shihan talked about the weak points of the human body targeted by the atemi waza. Not hit, but put your hand/arms to opponent's vital point, and break the blance to the weak direction. No need to change the elbow degree of own elbow. Many vital points are on the center line in both of front side and back side. Storong hit to the vital point may be also effective attack, but it against "catch/control without hurt". You can do it without storong hit.

This morning's theme was idoryoku. We did about a hundred hontai no tsukuri (shomenate), followed by tanto 17hon, then tanto taisabaki (no hands, then with tegatana) and we finished with kakarigeiko. Kenji Tomiki explained about the impotance of idoryoku. To avoid attack, to uchikomi after taisabaki, to catch the opponent, then to break his/her balance and to apply waza, idoryoku - movemnet power- is used in all steps. It is said that Morihei Uechiba moved very fast. But not everyone can do same trainig with Morihei Ueshiba. Hontai-no-tsukuri is a effective training of idoryoku for everyone.
