Finally cooling down

8/28 Kasukabe kids hard at work wit their kihon dosa. We spent about 15 mins running through the basics, especially hiriki no yosei ichi.

As for techniques, we warmed up with shomen uchi ikkajo oase ichi, ni then into shomen uchi jiyu-waza and a new kokyunage for the junior students to play with.

On Sunday in Kazo we had a full house due to the temporary closures of the nearby Kumagaya and Sakado clubs.

However a full house, full of energy! A full hour of throwing techniques. The orange belts and above worked on kataate mochi jiyu-waza.

From high 30`s right down to Mid 20`s on Wednesday in Omiya. If it wasn`t for these masks the training would be comfortably pleasant. Nevertheless we roughed through it.

Kata mochi nikajo osae ichi, ni (tachi, suwari)

We focused on the use of our palm and wrist to control the direction and flow of power both to and from our partner.
