River Valley Aikido Ukeme Seminar A Hit.

No pun intended in the title. :) Charles Colton Sensei focus was almost entirely on ukeme practice, particularly joining with both nage and the earth. Training included sensitivity training, opening rather than tensing and the beginning of a blending break fall. All in all a very informative seminar with a great turnout.
