Tonight’s karate started out with 5 Heian Nidans. After that, we did a combination from free sparring stance. Jab with the front hand, rear leg front kick at the same time, then a reverse punch when landing. Then we slid the front leg back with another jab, a front kick with the opposite leg and landing with a reverse punch.
After that we did two sweeping combinations, followed by the same drills with partners. It evolved into the same drill we used to do in Pekin where you’d punch across their body, then drive in hard to attempt to sweep the rear leg and it quickly turns into a throw. After having some fun with that we wrapped up the official part of class with some kata. We did Jion, Kanku Dai, and then our individual kata (mine is Sochin).
When class was over, PB and I did some free sparring. It was a great stress relief and we had a LOT of fun.
