6/21

Worked on moving basics including footwork Ⅰ-Ⅲ

hands for Ⅰ comprise an uchi-uke followed by gyaku-zuki

Ⅱ starts with a covering downblock using the hand opposite the pulling foot

hands for Ⅲ are a circular block starting in the opposite direction to that of the feet

Most of class was spent working on timing in various partner drills with Tom including one using sayu-barai-uke to block a front kick.

Practiced yakusoku kumite Ⅰ-Ⅶ (except Ⅴ) All attacks in pre-arranged sparring start from the right.

Class was unusually light on kata, with just a single renzoku performance of Pinan Shodan.
