Appreciate your sensei

As a part of our training program last night: each karateka has to go in front and lead the class. Some karateka did well, others didn't do well, and other did funny things...
One karateka said: "Hidary shiko dachi PUNCH TARGET TO THE MOUTH"
Another karateka said: "hidari han zenkutsu dachi morote gedan barai... Back leg GEDAN BARAI"


Very hilarious eh? but the point is, not everyone can be a sensei. So, let's us appreciate our sensei, let's go the dojo and do our best in the training!


Monday and Wednesday: Kumite Training
Tuesday and Friday: Kata Training

Seienchin

Sei en chin or “Silence in the storm” is a kata that belongs to Naha-te, from master Higaonna school. This is one of the most important kata in shitoryu karate. Tender and slow movement with deep breathing along with quick and strong movements are the specifications in this kata. Shiko-dachi, Neko ashi-dachi and Sanchin-dachi, are executed in this kata.

The time required to perform this kata is about one minute and fifty seconds. The time for performing the first three parts of this kata should be around forty five seconds.

Grabbing the opponent’s wrist and attacking him, uchi komi and hiji kuri uke are used in this kata. The number of movements is forty eight and this kata is practiced in the first dan level.(1)

Enough with theories, just watch the following video and enjoy.(2)

The Training of Yesterday

Yesterday training was kind of special training. It was mixed with kids karateka, team Selangor and a club member (you know who he is) and two new comers. The number of the karateka who attended yesterday was about 20 or even more. I didn’t actually count hehe.

So what was our training program for last night?

- Dynamic Stretching
It is normal stretching done while jogging. It took more than 20 minutes. The fun part was the rotating jump and the one leg side jumping!

- Practicing eight attacking techniques in kumite
This exercise was done without a partner. The objective is to get the correct 'form' of the 8 attacking techniques.

- Practicing the same techniques with partners
Here, we were to practice focusing on the target, and to control the attacks.

-Free kumite, with changing partners.
This is my favourite training. 20 seconds of kumite with partner and changing partner every 20 seconds. Here, we were to implement the 8 techniques, with correct form, with control and most importantly with DAT (Distance, Angle, Timing)

- One Round Kata
We did only the basic kata. Dai Ichi Dosa. Apparently because we had two new comers =)

- Endurance Training
Although it is ‘endurance training’, we did only one routine. So it was only endurance training by name hehe.

- Cooling Down Session
Of course, after an extensive training like this, there must be a cooling down session. We made a big circle, holding hand, and ‘you gonna do you thing’ ;)

Oh, before I forget, we had a special guest in our dojo last night, Sensei Muhammad from Iran. He share with us about discipline in the dojo. We were honoured to take a photo with him. The photo will be ready in facebook soon inshaAllah.

Last but not least, next Monday, we will have a similar training, 8:30 pm at FSC. Please do come! Especially if you are selected to fight in the “Penang Mission”.

correct your stance

Long Foward Stance (zenkutsu-dachi)
Correct standard stance requires the front leg to be bent, so that the knee is over the toes and the foot pointing straight ahead.

To find the length of the stance, simply kneel on the rear knee so that it is alongside the back of the front heel.
The correct width is to place the rear foot (pointing forward at 45 degrees) between one and two fist widths to the side. In other words, if you drew two parallel lines four inches to eight inches (100mm-200mm) apart, the inside edge of the front foot would be on one and the edge of the rear heel on the other.
Cat Stance (neko-ashi-dachi)
Correct cat stance requires both knees to be bent and should look as the diagram (left).
The rear foot is placed at 45 degrees with the front foot pointing straight in the direction of travel or opponent.
The front heel is raised from the floor so the contact area is on the ball of the foot and approximately 70-80% of the weight is on the rear foot.
The heels must always be in-line and the front knee forced out to point straight in the direction of travel or opponent.

kisah semalam..

nak cakap melayu. harap yg bukan melayu tu bukak kamus dwi bahasa..

pertama sekali, saya ingin mendedikasikan post ini untuk karateka yang tidak berjaya mengahdirkan diri ke dojo semalam untuk men-jeles-kan korang. huahuahua..

training semalam a iman kurangkan kepada 3 routin dari 8 (betol kan ade 8?). jadi takde la penat sangat. tapi sakit kaki tetap ade.

pastu wat endurance league. ala2 masa last training ari tu. kepada yang tak pernah buat endurance training, korang sangat kasihan (gelak jahat..)

oh, the best part. a iman belanja makan! tapi lepas dojo la macam dulu2.. juga menceritakan pengalamannya pada zaman dahulu kala..

jadi kesimpulan yang boleh dipelajari, sila datang training. sebab bukan setiap training a iman nak belanja makan. (^.^)
