 自分の稽古: 令和7年11月1日

My self-training: November 1st, 2025.

手刀中段受け (Shuto chudan-uke)


•  時間:1時間45分

Duration. One hour and 45 minutes.


•  練習のターゲット:基本技


中段順突き (Chudan jun-zuki)

Main target of today’s practice was the organic refinements of fundamental techniques. No care about PERFECT FORM nor FULL SPEED and POWER; rather, as Asai Sensei would say "...in training just move in accordance with the moment".


This is at the heart of the IKS: 

"NATURAL KARATE"

High repetitions of the following eight kihon-waza.


① 中段順突き (Chudan jun-zuki)

約束組手 (YAKUSOKU KUMITE)

Only two sets (both of attack and defense) of the following three forms of 'prearranged drills'. In Kihon Ippon Kumite and Jiyu Ippon Kumite I was particularly focused on angles in defense whilst maintaining precise kihon at maximum speed.
