Saturday 3/29

Worked on basics, including:

jodan, chudan and gedan shuto-uke

Uraken sliding forward

Combination attacks with movement, esp.  slide, step

Kicks

Front, side and mawashi-geri.
While working on kaiten ushiro-geri, Sensai related a story showing  the power you can develop with the technique. He said the three most important factors in effective techniques are:

Centrifugal Force
Acceleration
Leverage

Performed each of the Fukyugata and Pinan katas.

In Pinan Yondan, the move after the second hiji-ate should be executed stepping forward with the left foot into kosa-dachi while blocking and striking simultaneously.
