On Monday, Techniques week started off with the ever-so-important basics. Enriqueta led the beginners in proper stances: Front, Riding and Back. That led to the proper form for kicks. Eric led the higher rank students in striking techniques with elbow and the 1-2-3 drill (two palm heel strikes and low kick). Angel commented on his experience with our new Basic Training homework and how it has helped him become stronger and more prepared for class (read more about this new part of class in this article). Indeed, his strikes are improving greatly.
On Wednesday, we had a very small class, but were able to focus on high-rank strikes with combinations and targets. We wrapped up the evening with take-downs with defending from kicks.
Saturday was piloted by Sensei Aaron Bradley, the son of the Evanston Gen-Ki school. Students showed great improvement with kicks and strikes. Both old and new students should be proud of their progress.
