Test Practice

Went through the next test except for 4 techniques are picked during the test (that would be the biggest thing of all...)

Tips from Stumpy:

Yokomen Uchi Sankajo Osae-1

• When to make the X shape: Bring Uke’s strike arm up to where punch arm can reach, don’t bring punch arm to make the X shape. It will help to keep kamae and balance, otherwise, it ruins both of them…


• Pin: To slide it up along Uke’s arm when change hands to make Sankajo Pin

Ushirowaza Ryote Mochi Ikkajo Osae-1

• When to make the back step: Make the angle almost like 90 degree from its start, it makes Uke off balance and it makes much more sense for the punching motion


• Hand before the punch: Watch out for the angle

Hanmi Handachi Ryote Mochi Shihonage

• Balance : Keep kamae shape getting Uke’s hand and start moving, don’t let arms too high

Class of 2, P is back! with his heavy arms!  : ) Great to train with him after 2 weeks!!
Also, its great to hear how he goes through the learning process, it was definitely missed
