A Father and Son blog: Training time

It's school holiday time, but I'm still at work.   My son had a Karate lesson with our Senseis and they have now started to set him specific teaching tasks:  To help me stay in touch with what I'm missing out on 😊😊😊

His latest lesson consisted of Kata work, step transitions, drills and a little bit of Kobudo (bo drills).  The teaching tasks they set him were to teach me the Neko Dachi stance and step transitions, then go through the Naihanchi Shodan drill with me. 



It was a bit late when I got home, but he still wanted to show me 😊😊😊  I suppose I am a difficult pupil, as I am used to asking him to show me things, not hoim wanting to teach me things.  I need to work on that, but nonetheless, we spent some time going through both.

The drill is good but will need a good few gos to learn the full sequence, and all I will say about the other is I am no cat; neither smooth nor very flexible 😞😞😞.  However, the good thing is, he is willing to teach me some more and I am willing to learn.  Here is to a new type of father and son relationship ðŸ˜ŠðŸ˜ŠðŸ˜Š.
