aurik Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Yeah, we're having a huge COVID resurgence here, too. Fortunately we have enough space in the dojo to do in-person training with 10 students (per room).I'm glad to hear that you're still training despite all of the craziness going on out there. Keep up the good work!

Wayofaswede Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 Finally time to add some actual impact to my solo training sessions. Our family got a Century Versys vs 3 today. Just tried it for the first time and love the way it makes the techniques feel so much more logical. It also encourages creativity and deeper analysis of application of various parts of katas. As well as conditioning various parts of hands, feet, knees etcIt feels like actual impact adds another dimension to the session The path so far: 2 kyu Karate (Shito-ryu), 3 kyu Aikido (Aikikai), 5 kyu Judo, 9 kyu Bujinkan Budo TaijutsuNot a day without a kata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayofaswede Posted January 30, 2021 Author Share Posted January 30, 2021 Yes, I love it, and it has become a natural ”next step” in my solo karate practiceJust finished another session with conditioning/kihon on the Versys. Find it fascinating to notice that the way I perform kata afterwards actually seem to change subtly when it comes to understanding of distance, required power, timing etc.Quite some time left before we adults may return to the club dojo...hope you are all well and training in spite of everything The path so far: 2 kyu Karate (Shito-ryu), 3 kyu Aikido (Aikikai), 5 kyu Judo, 9 kyu Bujinkan Budo TaijutsuNot a day without a kata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayofaswede Posted April 19, 2021 Author Share Posted April 19, 2021 Just a quick update: No more club training for adults this semester Keep training on my own, but miss sensei’s guidance and the social aspect of sweating and growing as a group.Hope you’re all well and training The path so far: 2 kyu Karate (Shito-ryu), 3 kyu Aikido (Aikikai), 5 kyu Judo, 9 kyu Bujinkan Budo TaijutsuNot a day without a kata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 That stinks, Wayofaswede. Hopefully, you're back to in-class training in no time! Right now I'm missing some classes, but it's due to kids' baseball season and my work schedule. It's tough, but got to get that solo time. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
