REVISION



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!!!
