Today at the Higashi Dojo the Monthly yudansha and teaching clinics were held.
The teaching clinic was well attended. We warmed up with stance training and Shime no dosa review. Next we the students took turns presenting kihon, kata or bunkai lessons to the group. A very useful excersize. This clinic was physical and cerebral-and enjoyed by all.
The regular yudansha clinic was extremely well attended:14 black belts and 10 brown belts. Upstairs, the black belts trained in chokusen seisan dachi, practicing oi tsuki and turning punches galore.
We continued with kata training ( tenshin and sochin ) and rounded off the 2 hrs with the goshin jitsu of Ju Ni Ko.
Downstairs the brown belts toiled at stance training, kihon, kata, ukemi and the goshin jitsu of Nage no Kata.
Everyone had a good workout and came away from the day with many points to ponder!
Thank you to Renshis Ferri, Bellhouse and Chong for another great day!
Remember, next Sunday is the 'Alternate Clinic' and Feb 11th is the Renshi Sutherland clinic at Burlington Chito Ryu Karate Club. All welcome.
