Gojushiho Dai practice (also stills from Enpi and Gankaku below) from the previous days self-training. |
Today’s
training began with calisthenics followed by extensive training of the three
Tekki kata: 鉄騎初段 (Tekki Shodan), 鉄騎二段 (Tekki Nidan) and 鉄騎三段 (Tekki Sandan).
Following this was more kata
practice; including百八歩 (Hyakuhachiho) and 水手 (Suishu).
At present, I’m primarily reviewing
all of the main forms of kumite training in IKS (International Karate Shotokan)—国際空手道松濤館: (a) foundational kumite: gohon, sanbon
and kihon ippon kumite; (b) semi free kumite: jiyu Ippon, kaeshi ippon and kihon
oyo kumite; and (c) jiyu kumite and oyo kumite—goshinjutsu.
It is interesting now as many senior and famous Japanese karateka are copying me, it further elucidates Asai Sensei's great wisdom.
"Do not copy my karate, do not copy others, create your own best karate" - T. Asai.
