Saitama suwari waza

Never enough suwari waza! Yesterday morning at Aikido Meiryukan Saitama the adult class worked on kata mochi ikkajo osae ni. A fairly basic technique, however, quite a few common mistakes. We practiced the proper way to pivot during seated techniques. Getting our weight on and over our axis knee and rotating the hips opposite the way the arm is guiding, and keeping our hips down and upper body relaxed.
