Monday night was interesting, due to home and transport issues was running late, and had to make a call on whether to stay at home or go. But with my regular Sensei away on holiday, it was their Sensei, Craig, leading the session, I was a bit apprehensive as to his reaction.
I needn't have worried. As it was a 90 minute lesson, and I arrived before the first 30 minutes were up. I was allowed to train after warming up with stretches. Sensei Craig is a good teacher and as we are coming up to grading, we were going through many of the basics.
Kicks - I missed a big chunk of this, as this was the first part of the lesson that I saw. I joined as the stage the class were looking at Yoko Geri. The explanation and demonstration of the technique to be used was really helpful .
Kehon Kata - After kicks we worked on Kihon Kata. I stayed looking at Shodan and Nidan, the two I need for my next grading, whilst the more advanced went on to look at what they needed. Our Senpai, Elisha, went through them with me one on one, including pad work versions.
Then we went onto Kata, this bit was fun. Not only we have slow step throughs of the Naihanchi kata, we also went through some of the Pinans, and I think its the first time I have had a step through of Passai Sho 😊
Sensei Craig then did some one on one work with one of our class, whilst the rest of us did some Pad work. I got to try out a tweek I had seen to my Mawashi Geri kick to kick through the target properly which seemed to make a noticable difference, on my best leg at least 😊
Kata warmdown - it was a hot and sweaty lesson, so was time to do a Kata to warm down with. All in all an enjoyable lesson, thank you 😊😊
