Another Saturday in the dojo
Saturday was a mix in the dojo, the familiar, something not so familiar, and something new ☺ The warm up contained sprints, so was a bit challenging, then there was Mokuso and the formalities, followed by Kata. this time Naihanchi Shodan only.
Following that was something different: Dealing with multiple attackers, deflecting the first person into the path of the second and third, then dealing with them in turn. We rotated through the set of four, with the three attackers wearing mitts, and the defender hand pads, to practice punching the attackers.
The third part of the lesson constisted of paired drills - step by step build up of a series of different drills. Over leg take downs and hip throws featured as ending techniques, amongst others. Then in the same pairs, we did hooking hands drills and conditioning.
The final part of the lesson featured kobudo, working on two or three of the more advanced Bo kihon kata. Still struggling a bit with the breathing and recovery, but enjoyable as ever ☺☺☺
