This evening we did some redirect exercises. Partnering up, the person would punch and kick and I had to redirect the attack using the attackers body momentum.

Monday, August 10, 2009
After warm-ups we did a few kata’s such as pinan 1, kata 2, Stature and Han Suki. Then we partnered up to do some basic hand strikes and kicks which progressed to doing 4-6 striking combinations. Overall it was a good workout

Balance and Grappling
Wednesday, August 5, 2009
This evening we paired up and did some exercises that focused in your balance and trying to push over the other person using just your hands. Moving the feet was not allowed. Then the exercise progressed to both of us holding onto the other persons gi by the shoulder and arm and then trying to shift their upper body so they lose balance, again without moving the feet. The last part of the exercise was using the same upper body hold and you can move your feet to throw the person off balance or even try a hip roll.
