Some still images from self-training this morning

Here are some pictures from my self-training today. I think the images say more than text. I wish all who read this post the very best in your training! OSU - AB

Mae-geri keage kara oi-zuki. Keep the shisei (posture) as much as possible.

Migi jodan age-uke fires directly from the hiki-te position and is 'sent' via the hip action and 'shoulder snap'.

Hidari gedan-barai (higher grades must adjust the 'uke height' based on their physique and optimal effectiveness, as opposed to the basic 'one fist above the lead leg).

Chudan soto-uke... Elbow set but the uke wrist inverted.

Shuto chudan-uke.

Tateshuto chudan-uke. 

Migi chudan gyaku-zuki.

押忍!!
