We went over a few things very slowly and exactly.
After many repetitions I could see a real difference. Some of you were even correcting yourselves at the end!
Concentrating mostly on front stance - zenkutsu-dachi we made 1. high block -age-uke, 2.down block- gedan barai, 3.out to in block - sotu-uke
We also tried lunge punch - oizuki and reverse punch gyaku-zuki
We faced each other and went over these things together. Making correction on each other. This hopefully helps you to see by looking at another person - 1. How is the posture? 2. Is the hiki-te, pulling hand strong? 3. Are the shoulders tense? 4. Are the feet in the correct position? ETC.
Sen practice - timing drill using foot and breath reaction
Heian Shodan - only 2 times.
Good work! And good spelling, Jon! ;-)
