BACKYARD DOJO



The weather was warmer than its been. The Pacific Northwest sunshine was peeking through the clouds. And rain is arriving and then settling in for the next few days. Therefore, it was time for some backyard dojo.

I took drills we practiced in the dojo last night and recreated them with my homemade bag. I worked with my sai. I broke my rebreakable board five times. I worked on the basics of the Heian Sandan kata until I was (mostly) comfortable with its outline and choreography. I still have a lot of fine tuning before Heian Sandan is presentable, though.

I also added an inexpensive door-length mirror to the backyard dojo so I can see whether or not I'm doing particular moves properly.
