Tonight we practiced performing kihon kata, heian shodan and heian nidan. It's important to practice all the kata you know, not just your current kata.
As many of you have just graded, you have new kata to learn so we went through some of them for the first time, after practicing our kihon
We started off making out kihon techniques faster, relaxation, pulling the front leg back and compression and expansion. We then finished with kata.
Tonight we focused on generating fast, sharp techniques through relaxation with tension at the end of technique.
We had 11 students visit Cambridge Karate Dojo. All 11 students passed, with Jasper and Victor double grading. Congratulations to everyone who graded.

We continued with last weeks theme of sanbon kumite, 3 step sparring, defending and attacking 3 times to the head and body.
