After the warm up, the first hours of the lesson was concentrating on techniques. For me in a lesson, I always want to run through kata and this one didn't disappoint, as we went through both Naihanchi Shodan and Nidan (I want a T shirt that says "Made in Naihanchi" 😉😉). Then it was on to two person tegumi drills with different partners. I have tried to document them as best as i remember:
Drill 1)
partners 1 & 2) Hooking hands
Drill 2)
partner 1) punch - chudan uke
partner 2) wrist grab (same side), backhand slap to ribs
partner 2) open hand slap to face, hammerfist to arm hammerfist to neck
partner 1) pushes received hammerfist hand down, clears arm
partner 2) follows one routine, starting with punch
partner 1) follows two routine, starting with wrist grab
Drill 3)
partners 1 & 2) left arm low blocks followed by right arm inner blocks.
partners 1 & 2) Hooking hands, followed by left hand outer blocks
partners 1 & 2) push outer blocks against each other
partner 1) pushes through jodan tsuki,
partner 2) pushes up , jodan uke
partners 1 & 2) reset, push outer block against each other
partner 2) pushes through jodan tsuki,
partner 1) pushes up , jodan uke
partners 1 & 2) reset, push outer block against each other
partners 1 & 2) repeat on other side
For the last hour we practiced what was wanted for the upcoming demonstration, with this featuring all three classes, shisa, cadet and adult:
Breathing techniques
Kihon, Punches and blocks
Kata (Naihanchi Shodan)
Kata (Black belts - Passai Sho)
Padwork - kicks
Shisa - Tegumi
Cadets - Kumite
Kobudo kata (Black belts, nunchaku, sai and bo)
We went through this twice, so it was also valid practice of a sort. Synchronised kata isn't normally for me, but for a good cause why not? 😊😊😊😊
