During today’s class, we’ll be taking a look at an important aspect and skill for students working on the attainment of Shodan (with the goal to be “very” adept by Nidan), as well-as the concept of back-and-forth, adaptive flow and being able to follow “the ‘breath’ of the fight” for those Nidan and above.  The goal of all this,

In this class you will: Learn how your emotional state governs your natural body movement so you’re not fighting yourself while trying to fend off his attack! How to tap into a virtually unexplored area of natural human defensive response that can give you a serious advantage in a life or death survival situation! How to adapt nearly every technique to each

During today’s class, we’ll be working through a few of the Koto-Ryu kata in our Mastery Level 1 curriculum for those students focused on attaining their Nidan (2nd degree Black Belt), as-well-as using preemptive timing and movement to break our assailant’s advantage and “bring the kata to life” for more upper level students.

In this class you will: Learn how to see your weapons as “tools” so you’re NOT caught by the same limiting beliefs that your attacker will have! How to overcome the trap of “conventional thinking” and be able to apply your weapons in ways your attacker has NEVER seen and won’t expect! How to see almost ANY tool as a “combination” weapon to 10X

During today’s class, we’ll be focusing our attention on improving Gyaku / Kansetsu-waza (‘reversals’ / ‘joint locks’), with a special focus on Hon-Gyaku (‘principal reversal/lock’).
