Round Hill Class - 6/22/2006

Another new student introduced to the art and Brian's class. His class is starting to fill out nicely. Too bad when fall arrives all the newbies will be gone. We started with zempo kaiten from shizen no kamae. Some of us also did it in the middle of sanpo (natural walking). Sokuho kaiten wrapped up the ukemi. We then did ka/hi no kata and fu no kata of the sanshin no kata. Next we worked on two of the kihon happo: omote gyaku and urate gyaku. We also had hon gyaku as an option when doing urate gyaku. Mixed throughout were little bits of ashi sabaki (footwork control) and sokuho ukemi to help apply and receive the gyakus. Good times were had by all. Gambatte!
