Hakutsuru and Shintai


What we did on Friday 24 August 2012

Kata Hakutsuru part one; overview and some basic applications.
It is rare that we teach Kata Hakutsuru because it is the last kata in our system and only taught to those able to embrace its principles, particularly in respect of the relaxed, fluid nature of the movements with its impulse ‘slingshot’ style receptors and counters. 
It is time for us to do some more group analysis of the kata which has its idiosyncrasies that deserve far more study than we have given previously.

Shintai Undo Kata Do: Review and consolidation of the Spherical Model which is now complete and reconciled with the movements of the Cubic Model. These exercises would seem best suited to having a relationship with Kata Hakutsuru.
