Again stretching and kiso tanren like yesterday, perhaps slightly less. Followed up with 100+ of chudan-zuki from jigotai-dachi and then triple punches.
Practiced a routine like jodan-uke only with blocking hand open. Then drop down with a twist to cover center, and than twist again, throwing down to the side.
Taira stresses twisting at hips in most techniques – noticed this again throughout today’s workout.
Fukyugata Ⅰ worked again on crossing on turns and exploding into gedan-uke like yesterday.
Fukyugata Ⅱ in first move, right foot should go out at 45 deg then turn on ball of foot into jodan-uke
Pinan Shodan – cross blocks in first moves should be away from body – don’t bring arms back in. First turn, deliver kick, then plant turn and block shuto-uke.
Pinan Nidan – focused again on kentsui-uchi being delivered strongly.
Pinan Sandan – refreshed recommendations from yesterday.
Pinan Yondan – like Pinan Shodan, don’t drop hands. Step across right before first big turn (Sensai already taught this.) On knee attack, don’t raise hands too high, but do twist down with both wrists.
Pinan Godan – Taira sensai talked about the dropping block (possibly as a gedan-barai-uke) Need to check with sensai on this. Practiced the part starting with iagoshi-dachi followed by wari-uke.
