As you all know, one of our students is going to have her 1st dan grading, and she is taking Empi as her tokui kata. Thus, Empi with oyo will be the central part of the upcoming training.

I sincerely apologize for being so late with this post!.

I have been planning to practice Gankaku this Friday, but as one of our students is going to have her 1st dan grading, today we will most probably practice sentei kata: Bassai Dai, Kankû Dai, Jion, Hangetsu, Empi. As I promised I will always adjust the training plan according to students needs. As about Gankaku, we will practice it next Friday or in two weeks. I will announce the plan during the training and here in my blog.

Kata Training am Freitag - Kata training on Friday - Тренировка по ката в пятницу: 18.11.2011, 20 Uhr, Freiburg dôjô (Merianschule‏)

Last Friday we started to work on Kankû Shô. Some applications (oyo) were practiced followed by the techniques from kata. I personally find this way of teaching kata to be the most effective and, so to say, "historically" correct. We fight and then we put our fighting experience into kata.

This Friday, 18.11.2011, we continue to work on Kankû Shô.
