Ikkyo. Nikkyo. Sankyo.1, 2, 3.
We did a cool exercise last night where we took turns defending ourselves against a series of "attacks" by fellow group members.
One by one, members of the group charged at the person defending themselves. The goal was to practice ikkyo, nikkyo or sankyo in a more stressful situation compared to a typical one-on-one.
I thought I knew the techniques relatively well until I had to apply them quickly and against partners I don't usually train with.
Lessons learned:
- Practice, practice, practice- I need to practice a lot more so that I don't think about technique per se. I'd like to achieve better fluidity in my movements.
- Since my focus is still on the elbow and wrist, I forget about how the rest of my body should be placed.
- Even though it was a simulation exercise, the pace and cadence of attacks impacted my ability to recall certain basics.
I'm looking forward to next week's class!
