Two 90 minute sessions, no time outs ☺☺
I definitely enjoyed last weekend's training. Two 90 minute sessions without taking timeouts ☺ Still can't do the warm ups full on, but I do have some limits, due to age and over enthusiasm. Hey ho, the results of growing old disgracefully; refusing to lay down and accept my lot ☺☺☺
On the Saturday, apart from the warm up, we went through:
Tegumi drills - including hooking hands; a more advanced hooking hands, jodan uke / punch drill;.
take punch, back slap to rib, slap to face, hammer fist to arm, hammer fist to face;pushing away and turning drill
Conditioning
Kata
Pad work - drills, including jodan-uke, tchudan-uke, gedan-uke, cross, jab, cross punch combinations.
On the Sunday it was a bo kobudo lesson, with guest Sensei Darren and Luke:
Warm up
Kihon katas
Sushi-no-kon, starting to learn the kata
Two person drills
Thoroughly enjoyed and thank you to my teachers and fellow students, for making two great days ☺☺
