Supplementary outdoor training

Movement two of Heian Shodan: Migi chudan oi-zuki (Migi zenkutsu-dachi).

In addition to daily dojo training, in the warmer months I regularly do an additional training outdoors. Today, after a mountain run to loosen up, I went through all the standard 'Shitei-gata' of Shotokan: the five Heian and Tekki Shodan; and also 'Koten-gata' Shote Sho. 

The weather was perfect at about 35 Degrees Celsius (95 Degrees Fahrenheit)  with about 70 percent humidity. 

Here are a few shots from the session. OSU!!
