What we did in lesson!!!! http://www.tskr.webeden.co.uk Fri, 17 Jul 2009 07:13:28 GMT Swaffham, Wednesday 2nd September 2009 Wed, 2 Sep 2009 20:51:27 GMT Mr Webster http://www.tskr.webeden.co.uk/_comment/1173684 Tonight we started with gyaku zuki on the spot. We went from forward facing to left and right facing gyaku zukis concentrating on hip rotation.

After that we practiced Heian Shodan kata, mainly to help the red belts as it's their next grading kata. We then finished up the lesson with performing the bunkai to the kata as a group. I hope everyone enjoyed the training.

OSS!

]]> Re: Dereham Mon 21st July Tue, 21 Jul 2009 23:04:07 GMT Mr Webster http://www.tskr.webeden.co.uk/_comment/1112952 Kanku Dai isn't a requirement for kyu grades. It's a Dan grade kata, that said most of your Heian katas are in there and a bit of Bassai Dai too.

Kanku Dai, meaning "looking heavenward" or "viewing the sky", is derived from an old kata and is practised by students of both Okinawan and Japanese karate. Two versions of the original kata developed, Kanku Dai (greater) and Kanku Sho (lesser). However, in Okinawa students usually practise the original kata known as Kushanku or Kosokun.

This is two step sparring where the first attacker becomes the the defender. Needed for 2nd & 3rd Dan Grades, very good to learn as low grades. especially those interested in Competion Sparring...

A senior Kata that every Shotokan Karate -Ka should know.....
