Open house

Karate open house!

Perhaps my memory is really failing me... I can't remember what is the turn up normally like. This year, there are about 30 something people who turn up for the open house, and something slightly encouraging at this point of time, is that there are about the same number of guys and girls. Haha....

Due to some 'technical mistake', we didn't have the time to just sit down and talk about a bit of history, the different style, the three K (Kihon, Kata, Kumite), etc. Immediately at 7pm, I started to lead the warming up, and immediately we fall in and start the lesson.

Lesson 1: Punch! Yes, this is the basic, and also the advance stuff. We start off with just making sure the hand is moving in the correct way, and slowly procede on to how to add in more force, twist, and so on and so on. But before those, punch, punch more, and more and more...

Lesson 2: Blocks. As always, the 4 basic blocks will come into picture: Ageuke, yokouchi, yokouke, and gedanbarai. Repeat repeat repeat until we are able to coordinate, until we are able to feel it better and exert some force into it without compromising our posture, stance and balance...

Not too sure how many people will be continuing with the training. I just hope that at least there will be about 6 to 10 people who are really interested, and will continue to train and train harder. And may be can dig out some Kata player also! wahaha....

Today's 一言:Searching for Kata player to train together.
