| Self-training today, June 28th, 2023. |
Today my self-training was really interesting for me and also pretty tough.
KIHON: Tsukiwaza: Choku-zuki, Kizami-zuki and gyaku-zuki and Oi-zuki (Jun-zuki).
KUMITE: Jiyu Ippon Kumite (concentration on tai no shinshuku to launch attacks and defend against them, also tai sabaki and tenshin).
KATA: Heian Shodan, Kakuyoku Shodan, Roshu and Kibaken. The focus was on what was expressed in Jiyu Ippon Kumite and especially my tsukiwaza in Kihon.
In sum, it was a good old 'slap in the face day', which we all need. For me, this lights the fire to seek greater refinement. Ironically, the successful days are less valuable technically; nonetheless, serve to give some psychological relief and inspiration to keep pushing forward. Needless to say, both are needed in one's karate-do journey.
