Last few days here and there

Sunday morning kokyuho in Kazo. 

Simple concept of not using force against force is easier said than done, however, kokyuho ichi/ni are prime examples of those basics. 

We worked on trying to get a good fit, and keep it, as we raise our hands with either our partner`s push or pull.

With only 3 weeks until the Sakado summer tests, we went right into shinsa geiko following our usual 10 minutes of the 6 basic movements.

In Omiya the focus was on hiriki no yosei ni. Especially the lower body. Turning on our toes, shifting our weight and staying low and balanced. Then we tried to extend those points into some basic techniques.

Tuesday, July 6th was the first day back after more than 6 months at the Noda city junior high location. Chiba`s Noda city has been quite strict when it comes to Covid rules and restrictions. Hopefully things remain open...

With some fresh faces coming up from the kids class, we decided to try some adult ushiro waza techniques that they haven`t seen or done in the kids classes.
