Yesterday's session in the Dojo was mostly about drills. We started off with sprinting and breakfalls (which i ran of out steam on 😢), including being able to kick and roll through. This was followed by a short Kata session doing Naihanchi Shodan.
Then we started with the flow drills, after our Sensei quoted Geoff Thompson that attackers usually follow the 4 Ds "Dialogue, deceive, distract, destroy", We started role playing various simple scenarios leading through to destroy, including blocking the first blow and locking on to the arm to take control, and turning into an attack from behind using the head protecting "crash" from Naihanchi Shodan.
Then, regularly swapping partners, we went through flow drills based on both the Naihanchi and Pinan families of Kata. There were many different scenarios visited, but some of the key elements worked in included arm bars, arm locks, counters to hay makers (including the use of Gidan Uke), knee strikes, neck take downs using ridge hands. There was also some ground work covered, break falls, use of kicks to keep the attacker distant, scissor leg takedowns and recovery.
Finally, we did some more free form work, using attacks and defences from the drills. Not full kumite, but challenging nonetheless. All in all, apart again from my stamina, a great session. 😊😊😊 Having some tests soon to look at the stamina / breathing issues.
