http://shinkijukutraining.blogspot.com/2010/02/25th-okinawa-karate-kobudo-annual.html
Training notes, experiences, thoughts and the developing syllabus. 25th Okinawa Karate and Kobudo annual taikai event. I had the pleasure of participating in the 25th annual Okinawa Karate and Kobudo taikai at the Budokan in Naha, Okinawa on Saturday. Many karateka from the Matsubayashiryu dojos in Okinawa attended alongside around a couple of thousand other karateka and spectators from across all the traditional Okinawan karate and kobudo styles. And the fuller photo album is on my Facebook site. Ian Ab...

Shinkijuku Training: Passed my grading
http://shinkijukutraining.blogspot.com/2009/12/passed-my-grading.html
Training notes, experiences, thoughts and the developing syllabus. We had the end of year grading at the Shikina Arakaki dojo last night and party afterwards. I'm very happy to report it went well for all (7 juniors and 3 adults grading this time) with everyone passing their test. I received 2 kyu after managing to demonstrate Fukyukata 1&2, Pinan kata 1,3&5 and Naihanchi shodan without any major errors (I missed a kiai in one kata! So time to dust off the brown belt and get on with training.

Training notes, experiences, thoughts and the developing syllabus. Single wing choke combat application. Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? Standing application of single wing choke as a control and take down. A strong self defence technique as its simple, pretty intuitive once you position or find yourself outside the line of attack and moving behind the attacker, and a reliable choke to apply as it does not rely on the use of the dogi/jacket collar.

Training notes, experiences, thoughts and the developing syllabus. Karate training and things you learn along the way. Was it because Okinawans became richer as the island recovered after the Second World War and could afford them rather than training in gardens and dusty yards as you often see in pre-war photographs of old masters and students?

Shinkijuku Training: Training and Goshinjitsu practice principles
http://shinkijukutraining.blogspot.com/2010/04/training-and-goshinjitsu-practice.html
Training notes, experiences, thoughts and the developing syllabus. Training and Goshinjitsu practice principles. I haven't blogged for a little while here but since Eugene arrived we have been stepping up the training plus doing some other fun stuff along the way too. Euge is doing a great job of chronicling his experiences. Principle 1 - Self defence techniques should be an obvious response to a common, likely attack. Principle 2 - Self defence techniques should be intuitive and simple. Memoirs of a Gra...
