Hiatus from blog posts, not karate.

Class led by Sensai.

In weapons class worked on sai and bo. For sai, we broke into two groups of four with each person performing the kata of their choice for the others. I picked one I’ve practiced more lately – Sai Dai Ichi. Sensai commented that I need to work on keeping my thumb at or below the weld on strikes. I need to keep my back leg straight in my zenkutsu-dachi.

Worked on Matsubayashi-ryu bo kata again. Practiced the Four directions (kihon bo) kata as well as Shiromatsu-no-kon.

Performed Naihanchi Ⅰ- Ⅲ, and Ananku kata changing direction 90° each time.

Worked on yakusoku kumite Ⅰ-Ⅴ with Zack
