I`m currently revising kihon, kata and kumite based on old
videos I received (which were stored in New Zealand, and kindly brought to
Japan).
This also includes the five Joko kata, which I`ve fully revised
(corrected) as of November 3rd—and yes, they are very different from
anything online; also; several of the koten-gata that I needed to recheck in order
to teach in the future (hence, I have not taught them, but can from now). Overall,
this process is keeping me very busy in the dojo.
Another treasure is notes from Asai Sensei on atemi-waza/kyusho-jutsu
in relation to the various karada no buki, depth and trajectory of attacks.
While I have followed this closely, reviewing the old notes—and my advancement
in skill over the years—has shed new light on these notes and videos.
Very exciting things to come!!!
