Kata training included the four SENTEI-GATA (Bassai-Dai, Kanku-Dai, Enpi and Jion), which I am now revising based on older versions here in Japan (to improve effectiveness in self-defence). Also, Sochin, Seiryu and the opening of Unsu, which I will not detail here.
Practice also included 'timing training' with kihon ukewaza and choku-zuki 'reactivity'.
The beauty of today was the presence of sakura in full bloom.
