二十四歩

Today I enjoyed training in central Oita-shi. Following my current training regime the main focus was on Nijushiho （二十四歩）kata, three of the grading syllabus ido-kihonwaza and various timing in kumite (with tsukiwaza). Interestingly, here is an article from Japan (2011) at the same dojo and ironically about Nijushiho!!! Certainly a case of Deja Vu (you can click here to read the article: http://andrebertel.blogspot.jp/2011/04/japan-kata-training-nijushiho.html). Anyway, for the time being I will leave you with some stills from todays socho-geiko (morning training).

 

Kindest regards and all the very best from Nippon, André
