Thursday, April 1, 2010

I hope you enjoyed the very basic class tonight!

Kicks:
  • Mae-geri
  • Yoko-keage
  • Yoko-kekomi

Pads:
  • Mae-geri
  • Yoko-kekomi

In-place Basics:
  • Soto-uke (in natural stance)
  • Soto-uke ~ Gyaku-zuki (in front stance)

Stepping Basics:
  • Oi-zuki
  • Age-uke
  • Soto-uke
  • Shuto-uke

Kata:
  • Heian-Shodan

Extra Point:
  • Stepping: Legs are always connected to the center, so keep the connection while stepping by squeezing the knees/inner thighs together as your legs pass each other (when stepping or turning). Keep the center of gravity path straight (no swaying), yet the feet travel slightly in-and-out (But they don't completely come together because that's a sign of lateral body weight sway, which is a no-no!).

Let's go over the basic sparring on Sunday. We've done some more advanced sparring drills already, so the basic sparrins should be a piece of cake!
