Class led by Sensai.
Stretching included forearm extension (droppping straight down, out to the side, and down to both sides).
Worked on drills involving movements and applications of techniques found in the Naihanchi kata:
One was the three part punching/uchi-uke drill. Nick is much better at the double block than I am.
Another was a punching/kicking drill where the defender used shukoken while shifting weight and stepping back to block two punches, and then immediately counterattacking with a kick from the front foot.
In still another, the defender blocks a chest punch with an inside chest block, rolls over the attackers arm pushing it down and strikes. This was followed by shooting the attacking arm up around the attackers head to take him down.
Then, a variation on the previous drill where the attack is blocked inside uchi-uke followed by an immediate strike to the chest/ribs. The defender then comes under the attacker’s punching arm with hiji-ate and does a shoulder lock and lowers his weight to do any of several takedowns.
Finally, a drill from the move in Wankan before each kiai where the defender shifts to the side to block a punch with an outside chest block, then grabs the attackers wrist, pulls him in and punches to the chest. Also similar to the last part of Yakusoku kumite Ⅴ.
Performed Pinan kata (except Nidan) and Ananku, before sparring. Received my red tip today. Sensai said he was proud of my kata.
