| Nakamura Shihan stated that in my kumite I reflect the unpredictability Asai Sensei. Needless to say, I am so honored by this. |
Here are some stills from the special tournament training in Kumamoto Shi this weekend. The class, brilliantly led by Nakamura Akiyoshi Sensei, included the JKA kyu-shinsa kihon (brown and black belts did the 3rd Kyu syllabus); stationary practice of choku-zuki, gyaku-zuki and mae-geri; jiyu-ippon kumite; `round robin' jiyu-kumite; and kata (the shitei-gata and tokui-gata).
Overall, the class was an excellent session of "budo karate in the tournament context."
