Hi all,

Below is what we’ll be doing tomorrow night, along with a few other things for awareness:

Juniors: Sanchin, then we’ll be looking at Bo and Sai with the juniors and kata. If you have bo or Sai please bring them, if not we’ll have spares. Looking at the weather there is a chance we’ll be outside, so please wear trainers or shoes that are secure on feet, so they don’t go flying off when kicking.

Seniors: Sanchin, walking basics, kote kitae kote katae. Meibukan kata from Tenchi to Genbu, Kakomi Kumite before ending with Tensho.

As it’s starts getting warmer please bring a water bottle, and as we move to summer feel free to train in white t-shirts.

A lot of energy and effort in the dojo last night. Our juniors focused on kata, with a flag competition with them also acting as judges.

We saw some great kata, and prep is well underway for the Shogai Karate Dojo Cup at the end of the month. Unfortunately we forgot to take pictures of the flag competition, but one of our amazing parents did take some of our seniors vs each other.

Even the seniors joined in the competition with Sensei Craig vs one of the seniors, and Sensei Amy vs Senpai Peter.

Our seniors then worked on Kobudo and weapons kata, before finishing with Meibukan family katas.

We’ll be back for more next week!!

Hi all,

The below is an idea of what we are going to be covering tomorrow night.

Juniors: Sanchin. We’ll then be splitting into 2 groups. One group will be focused on kata practice. The other group will be doing a flag kata competition looking at stances, technique, strength and timing. Then we’ll switch. This will help prepare those aiming to go to the Shogai Karate Dojo Cup at the end of the month, but will also help kata in general.

Seniors: Sanchin, walking basics, kote kitae & kote Katae. Then into Kobudo using bo and Sai, so if you have them, please bring them and we will have spares.

After this we’ll be working through the Meibukan Kata from Tenshi to Genbu.

See you all tomorrow.
