BACKYARD DOJO



I spent some time out in the Pacific Northwest sunshine this afternoon, training in the backyard dojo.

(You know that friend that takes up cross training and then only ever talks about cross training? I'm afraid I may have become that person!)

Board breaking. Working on some karate kata—Taikyoku Shodan, Heian Shodan, and Heian Sandan. Working on bo (staff) basics and a training kata. Working on sai basics. Working on nage-sai. Working on a few punches and kicks with the training dummy I built. Working on some stances for karate—back stance, front stance, horse stance—and for kobudo—cat stance and a variation on fudo dachi (immovable stance).
