This past friday we visited some portions of the Ten ryaku no maki in terms of ukemi – Zenpo, Koho to warm up and look at various ways of safely falling in any event. I wanted to review the friday prior material which was a quick look at – osoto gake, osoto garuma, osoto gari and hiza garuma. We then looked into some Jin ryaku no maki techniques – koyoku and setsu yaku.
Martial arts of distance is the most important in terms of practicing distance, angling and timing. I’ve since notice everyones DAT is different. The right distance for me might not be the right distance for a smaller or bigger person. With that said, I stressed the importance of everyone moving at their own pace and make their own self assessments. From this sort of individual independence I can easily be of help. This approach & method works for me.
Usually towards the end of class I usually discuss specific topis or show some stuff I learned from training or just ask if anyone has any questions on anything we’ve done. The friday prior before this class I demostrated – keri sukui and ashi dome. This past friday we looked at teki ori from a grab and punch.
One of my favorite quotes in closing – “A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write and a martial artist must practice/train if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself”.
