We did a slightly different warm up today, with some different stretches, then in to basics. We went through all the punches, kicks and receiving techniques, then started to look at a relatively new drill.
We worked through it stage by stage, both with and without pads. Once a particular element was covered, it was added to the flow drill. After that, at each point we needed to repeat the key elements just looked at, then perform the flow drill from the start to the point we had just got to.
At the end point of the main lesson, each pair was asked to perform the flow drill to see how much we had learnt. I lost it round about the forearm strike. The full drill is given in outline below; thank you Ben for the corrections 😊😊.

The drill was both challenging and fun 😊😊. For the last part of the lesson we did bo work, the first 6 kihon katas. As there were a good few people, we had to split into two groups to accommodate us all, but it was fun. So much so, that me and my son went to the park later to practice. Here i am doing kihon Katas Godan and Rokadan (badly but enthusiastically) 😊😊.
Hope you enjoyed 🙏
