Show your best

3 weeks until the Saitama summer tests... Are you ready? Just remembering the movements is different than doing them correctly. You have to use your body as well as your mind. Albeit difficult during these hot and humid months, you have to focus and show your best. Don`t think you are going to pass just because you can go 1 step, 2 step, 3...

Unbreakable spirit

It is getting hot and humid here in Saitama. No air conditioner, thick dogi, sweat dripping as our legs shake battling through kihon dosa. Getting harder to put down the phone and get off the soft sofa in that air conditioned room to head to the dojo isn`t it? More than just remembering a bunch of cool techniques, this is what we train for... Push, persevere, do what you don`t wanna do, to become the person you wanna be.

Weapon Wednesday

Weapon Wednesday still going strong. This class is held only once or twice a month at the Kasukabe Budokan from 9:15 to 10:15.

Recently we have been working on 31 no jo awase. A great excersice for not only body but mind. Once you remember the steps there is so much more to be learnt through working with a partner. 

 

Iriminage in Noda 6/17

With some new faces in the Tuesday evening Noda class we started off working on back breakfalls - blending and absorbing

Then into yokomen uchi shomen iriminage 1 - a simple looking but extrememly difficult technique. If you break the entering movement down into parts you loose the flow, but if you try to connect it all at once you collide while entering...

6/15 坂戸

Recently in Sakado we have had quite a few people, both kids and adults come out to try a class. Last Sunday in the kids class we all worked on katate mochi shihonage 2 before breaking off in to groups to prepare for the upcoming Summer tests. As usual we finished off with a few minutes of fun with different challenges and games.
 

With some new faces in the adults class we started off with a basic movement - tai no henko 1, followed by the related technique, katate mochi sokumen iriminage 1. The remainder was test training. The Sakado test wil be held on Sunday July the 13th. For kids shodan and above, adults 3rd kyu and above the test will be held in Kasukabe on saturday, July the 5th.

Kasukabe 6/7

With the summer tests approaching we decided to first review some of the kihon. The kids class started off with the usual basics, however we thoroughly broke each thing down - kamae, seiza-ho, shikko-ho, ukemi and kihon dosa. 

The adults worked on shomen uchi sankajo osae 2 -  a technique we learn early, but actually is quite difficult since there are a few different movements that don`t quite relate to the 6 kihon dosa.
