Thanks, Sensei Jason, for leading an excellent workout last night! It was great to see so many people out and having fun.

In between classes, take some time to go over the basics that we have been drilling in class recently. Stand in “kiba-dachi” and throw some “tsukis” to the various points on the body. F0llow that by working through your blocks: age uke (rising block), udi uke (inside forearm block), soto uke (outside forearm block), and gedan barai (low block). Then, to shake things up a little, try moving across your kitchen floor in “zenkutso dachi” throwing a punch with each step. Add a little spice with a strong “kiai” to get your family’s attention. Practice can be fun!!
