Kikugido Practice Journal

December 23, 2017

Today was the last day of practice.

The children did stance, basics 1 through 10, and kumite up to the point where they each remembered their own kumite.
After that, each participant chose his or her favorite kumite and presented it.

First, we put down our swords and practiced sliding feet. The students did not just slide on the ground, but also checked how they were using the soles of their feet. After that, we practiced postures 1 through 5, and then practiced facing each other to practice seigan. I realized once again how difficult it is to perform a single posture of Shogan.

Thanks again for your hard work today.

We look forward to working with you again next year.
