Seminar Day Two Afternoon Session

Ananku – performed kata and worked on oyo bunkai
Partnered with Sensai Rick (trains with Sensai Trombley in Misissagua?)
In opening part, the hands come up into a cross block to block right hand jodan zuki. Then turn hands over and grab opponents wrist using thumb and index finger, pull down to left. At the same time deliver heel strike to oponents knee
when .

Did a 4 direction gedan-uke/chudan-zuki drill 30-40 times

Wankan several oyo bunkai out of parts.
Had to step out during kata since I haven’t learned this yet. Jumped back in during oyo bunkai, again with Sensai Rick.

Yakusoku kumite Ⅰ-Ⅳ

Started with drill stepping forward right punching jodan-zuki. Then step forward left punching chudan-zuki, and follow stepping
forward right into jigotai-dachi, punching oi-zuki. Then step back right and block jodan-uke left, step back left blocking chudan-uke,         and finally step back right and block down left gedan-barai-uke. Repeat on opposite side.

Worked on kumite mainly with Sensai Rick, except for one yakusoku kumite Ⅱ with Sensai Baehr

In defense on Ⅲ, the first block should be soft. The second move, move in (right leg should be between opponent’s legs) block the         opponents chambered and back strongly and block the punching hand up (_not back_) with a twist then attack the opponents floating rib by dropping down and attacking hiji-ate.

On the turn of Ⅳ, block up immediately (look for the punch in peripheral vision) then block down left and punch chudan-zuki at same time.

Practiced kicking with each leg from ippon-ashi-dachi. Performed 30-40 jump-kicks from each leg.

Finished up by performing Naihanchi Shodan once and Fukyugata Ⅰ twice, followed by light stetching jumping jacks and jumping and spinning 360°
