Jissen
Tonight’s jissen was focused on rengi and keeping attacks moving toward the opponent. What I’ve ben noticing lately is that a lot of people in jissen tend to concentrate on their own techniques rather than what the opponent is doing. As a result, they keep moving in whatever patterns are comfortable for them, regardless of which direction the opponent moves. Sometimes they get lucky and actually hit the opponent, but this is rare because they don’t watch the opponent and have poor maai.
- kobo jissen – one partner attacks with rengi until he hits, then the other partner does the same
- jissen – several 30 second matches
Hokei
- free hokei practice
This was our biggest group at regular training in a while, which is kind of sad. It was a good practice though, despite the 90% humidity and heat. Beer tasted extra-fucking-awesome after training tonight.
