It was a very lightly populated workout tonight, the black belts outnumbered the lower ranks. Oedewaldt-san took the first class before Sensei Brewer showed up, and the rest of us vacated to the other room to work on kata. I am in the process of implementing some technical changes that were suggested by Sensei Hassell, […]

Here is the video from this weekend’s workout. I am glad that given the lack of energy my body can still put together a decent Sochin kata. I’ve identified a few areas to work on for my last 149 kata. I need to tighten up my high-low blocks. I appear to be leading with my […]

He stayed there for a good 45 minutes before falling asleep so hard that he almost fell backwards off the couch. At that point, it was time to make him get down so he didn’t hurt […]

Upon further analysis, it seems that there is some sort of macabre register for people that have also done this feat, one of which can […]

For reasons unknown, everyone else left after the first class leaving only the nidans and Sensei Brewer. We took the opportunity to brush up […]

Sensei Kanazawa performing Wankan kata. There’s good reference if I ever saw it. 🙂 Also, because some of you have been commenting on it… yes, I am having a good time looking at karate videos on YouTube. I highly recommend it, there are some very good, very rare, and sometimes very humorous videos to watch […]
