Weapons/Kobuto: We started with Bo strike drills; 20x strikes, 20x spinning down block, 20 strike combos. Then drilled Bo 1. We then split up and worked on Sai drills and Sai 1 Kata.

We started discussing putting some personalization into each Kata. In that we should be imagining a real fight and reacting instead of just going through the motions with our Kata.

For the Brown & Blackbelt class, we talked. For the entire class we sat and discussed the weekend. We enjoyed each other’s company and just talked about our experiences. Very fun class and a treasure for sure. I really do love these people.
