special consideration for non-traditional (older) children

After a series of basic training in stance, the participants practiced one-on-two standing circles.

Both of them were quick to learn how to swing, and both of them were aware that once they had been warned, they would correct it the next time.

The adult frame consisted of posture practice. The third and fourth stances were practiced facing the opponent.

The "Tenshi-Shogan" and "Tenshi-Shinmukai" were done carefully and over time in unannounced practice.

When a transfer is made, the line with the opponent is lost, and a new line is formed, and as it develops there, it was very difficult to know the distance from the opponent, whether it was properly placed in a position that would work, and so on.

It was not something I could master in just one day of practice, but I will continue to build on it,

I think it will be fun to move freely one day.

Thank you again for your time today.
