Sunday class (Poresky sensei's class / Kids class)

  Over 20 people attended Bob Poresky Sensei's class. He mainly focused on off-balancing by subtle movement of Hanmi posture. The most interest and difficult technique was Katadori iriminage with the off-balancing movement.  Once you get this technique, it can be applied any techniques. The movement was subtle, but affect a lot.

  In youth class, all kids attended. In half of the class, they all trained together and split two groups in the other half of the class. At the end of the class, they played sward game.

  Pictures are updated here.

Children were enjoying Ukemi(rolling, a pic above), Kokyuho, Ikkyo and games. Their Ukemi is getting improved a lot.

Sunday kids class

Today, we did some new exercises and techniques in kids class. All students did back roll Ukemi exercise very well. Balancing, centering, controlling space give good idea to develop techniques. We all enjoyed.

Get idea from Kaeshi waza

  Practicing particular technique is not good enough to understand the principle of the technique. Sometimes  training Kaeshi-waza (Reversed technique) gives you a good clue. We trained Sankyo and Sankyo kaeshiwaza in today's class.You will find what is missing in your technique by training the reversed technique.
