My Kenshusei Journey: Week 3
Glenn Riley at WTKO Honbu.
14 March · New York, NY, United States
Early morning training completed. Kumite drills using ankle weights followed by Kata Heian Nidan and applications (with eyes closed!!). Analyzing Oi-Zuki after class (actually updating my blog), I asked Sensei a question regarding connection in technique. Well the question was certainly answered!!
Osu!

Another great class this evening. Reps of Ido-Kihon concentrating on blocks and kicks, partner work, then working on Heian Shodan which always tests everyone! Great to finish on Bassai-Sho.

Early morning training done. Ido-Kihon, partner work, and Ippon Kumite. Since starting Kenshusei training, I have also been educated in what exactly is good Coffee by Sensei. Things are going to change when i arrive back in the UK Sarah 😀. Looking forward to having lunch with Takeshi Kitagawa Sensei on Sunday 😀
