Uchi deshi training at home dojo. Sofus working on Saifa kata. Depending on the level of the student, the way we teach kata is typically: solo kata, refer principle of movement to application, explore sequence application from a number of points of view (various scenarios), reference relevance of Sanchin kata (how it supports/dictates way of moving/applying), solo kata again (now we have context), repeat.
If you’re interested in applying for an uchi deshi spot to immerse yourself in the profound study of Okinawan karate please send us a message.
