Earlier I held a small clinic in Derry, the instructors were Jim Keenan, Fred Lohse and myself.
Folliwing that Fred invited me down to Cambrider, Mass for a small clinic for his own students.
I visited a Goju/Mataoyshi Kobudo group in Cambridge, Mass this day. The instructor Fred Lohse, is a friend of Joe Swift’s and his school has previously studied Bando Stick with me.
My clinic was explaining, demonstrating and teaching the basic principles of movement as I present them to my advanced students in Bushi No Te Isshinryu.
I used my basic form (Fukyugata Sho, with IR stance, blocks and strikes) to demonstrate how we utilize Stance, the Crescent Step, alignment theory, Breathing (intra and inter technique) in the development of power.
We explored how a technique may be defined (one move, or various groups of moves) with Fukyugata Sho.
Then we explored multiple striking, continuous striking and Chinese Jing Do as applied to Okinawna karate, still continuing to use Fukyugata Sho for the movement base.
Then we explored applications from Seisan and Seiunchin kata. His group presenting theirs and I, the ones we practice. I also demonstrated our basic aikido practices.
I demo’ed several forms. Chosen No Kama Dai, and the first section of Faan Tzi Ying Jow Pai Hon(g) Kuen.
Afterwards, the obligatory Chinese meal was enjoyed by all.
