What we did...


Friday 29 June 2012
Over the last eight sessions we continued study of Kata Shintai and the last moves of Kata Channan.  This may not sound very much but we have always been more concerned with quality of progress rather than quantity.  During June we have put in more than twenty hours study of the basic applications for Kata Channan and before that a similar amount of time on the Channan takedowns.

Throughout the month Kata Shintai has been quietly establishing itself through its component parts rather than as a whole exercise mainly because I was unsure what form the final arrangement would take.

Continued practice of moves 27 to 30 of Kata Channan thus finishing our overview of the fifteen basic applications.  It is important to recognise the nature of the forearm trap in that it is a trigger response to a sudden attack, training against a sudden, unexpected attack changes the nature of the defence; it means that the practitioner must learn how to capitalise out of making a ‘mistake’ in timing and judgement.
