After flexing some time back and sleeping this afternoon I made it to the dojo for karate. We worked on several combinations with backfist strike and back kick, doing some cool partner training where we worked on the mechanics of the spinning motion. One side would jab, the defender would do a pressing block and slide in with reverse punch. The attacker would put their hand up as a target by their face, then the defender executes a backfist strike with their punching hand. After that, there was an option: either spin around and execute a stomach level backfist strike, or spin around and catch the opponent as they stepped back with a back kick and reverse punch combination.
After that we did a few Heian katas, a few Tekki katas, and our personal katas (again, Sochin in case there was any doubt). That was it! More on Friday!
