Team Dojo 001
Second Team Dojo Kata practice. Working with my 3 students we continued Too San. Started at the beginning with one student. Got pretty far. I hope they practice!
Training: Run + Kata
Did an easy 2.5 mile jog and then ran through Kata and Self Defense movements.
It was raining and cold. Good prep. 🙂

Kata/Weapons: Heavy on the Kata tonight though.
We worked Kata drills; Taigo 1. First feet only for about 3x times, then hands & feet for 3x times. Then we did Bunkai of Taigo 1 with us working kicks and blocks against each other. Pretty slick stuff. Very fun.
Then we worked on Seisan for the remainder of class. Drilling it 4-5 times each between us. I felt pretty good moving through it all class long.

Noon class. Went into class looking to do some personal work, but wound up leading class. I actually love leading class, pretty great way to solidify what you know yourself.
I’ve found you don’t truly learn something until you try to teach someone else.
It was weapons and kata, so we worked Too San and Naihanchin 3x times each, very slowly. Then we did Bo 1 4x times very slowly and then drilled the strike + kick + spin part a dozen times.
Dojo: Training/Kata
5:30am Dojo. We ran through all of our Kata, medium speed. Just keeping our bodies moving and testing our muscle memory.
The rule was to work to NOT think ahead during the Kata(s) and only focus on the move we are performing… It was quite difficult but I wound up getting through all my Kata(s) with only one real mix up during Konku.
