Yesterday, Eric Souffleux (4th Dan) from France came to train. He had several requests, which I covered primarily referencing the fundamental techniques and their respective applications. I won't go into the specific details taught--these are for Eric; nevertheless, here is a brief overview.
KIHON: Initially the practice focused on subtle details of Choku-zuki, Oi-zuki, Kizami-zuki and Gyaku-zuki. Also, Sokumen-zuki and 'tsukiwaza with tenshin'.
Heian Shodan was utilized to focus on proper shomen, hanmi and koshi no kaiten—in relation to exact kakato-chushin.
Sections of Heian Shodan, Nidan and Yondan; furthermore, Hangetsu, Gankaku, Sochin' and Unsu were used to increase skill and understanding of ‘te-ashi onaji’ and 'strong stability/balance'.
For KUMITE Eric requested work on his Sen No Sen, so I did this with both oi-zuki and gyaku-zuki. Practice of kizami-zuki with taisabaki and nagashi-zuki wrapped up this section.
Insofar as KATA was concerned, Enpi, Unsu and Gojushiho Dai were covered.
Lastly, I wish Eric all the best in the advancement of his Karate.
OSU!
