Oops, a week behind...
Nothing much new is happening at the dojo, except having a couple of new students joining us. Welcome Artur and Leroy. They both have background in karate similar to what we practice, so I wouldn't be surprised if they catch up rather quickly. Don't underestimate them just because they're wearing a white belt!
I put a Book of the Month on the bookshelf. It is a karate book written by a person named Ashihara. His style, Ashihara Karate, is a rather new style but is very unique and I always wanted to try out (but never had a chance). They allow grabbing and throwing, and combining with kicks, punches and sweeps the style appears and practices very differently. I personally don't like to call it "karate" but nevertheless it is an interesting fighting system. They use a lot of side shifting or circular steps as well. Take a look at the book when you have a chance and let me know what you think.
Continuing with Sasoi-waza this week.
