The kids' class started with a "tag" game. After relaxing their bodies and minds, the students performed basic kata, turning around to perform maki-kiri, ten/chi from stop/hane, and finally ten/chi/ten/ten/ten rotation.

Overall, the students were able to listen to their teachers well, concentrate on their practice, and finish the practice in a good atmosphere.
In the general class, first-time participants were given the same basic kata and Ten, Earth, Heaven, and Heaven Rotation standing movements as the kids, and repeaters were challenged with sword dances from Kamui's performance.
