What are you working on at the moment?

[aefibird]

I'm just wondering what aspect of your training you're all concentrating on at the moment.

 

I've learned Unsu fairly recently, so I'm concentrating on getting to grips with that. Also, I'm concentrating on trying to make better use of my hips and my centre than I am doing that the moment, especially in Sochin-dachi and Neko-Ashi-dachi.

For the next six months I am going to really try hard at improving my confidence in Kumite.

[Jade]

I've to improve mostly stamina in kumite...and since i'm a woman i'm training to put more strength in my moves.

 

About the recent kata training....i'm tring to do my best to master Kanku Dai...one of the three katas that i need to show to my next test...first dan.

Heian Nidan and overall flexability but mainly in my hips and hamstrings. I would like my knife hand blocks to be as good as the other hand techniques I can do well.

Jade, good luck for when you take your first dan! When do you test for it?

 

Also, what are the other kata that you need to know for it?

[cathal]

I'm working on refining my katas (I know the Heians, Tekkis, and Bassai Dai).

Jade, good luck for when you take your first dan! When do you test for it?

 

Also, what are the other kata that you need to know for it?

Next year i'll be able to test for first dan...i still have time to train at my best.

 

The katas required are Bassai Dai, Kanku Dai and Jion.

[cathal]

Good luck, Jade.

I am on a body building program to increase my strength and get rid of my chicken legs! And, I am working on 2 new Kung Fu forms for my next grading. I am also trying to learn all the new curriculum for all the belt levels as my school has recently undergone a big change in ranking, curriculum, etc. Last year I spent 6 months learning a new system and then they go and change it on me...the nerve!!
