This weekend I went to our NAJA headquarters in Florida for my Roku Dan Renshi test. The spring seminal is a yearly event where students come to train, the leadership meets to discuss Association business, and tests are run. It's a fantastic event - 4 days of great karate hosted this year by Ryan Dean's dojo.

Apparently a video on women in self defense from the 1940's - there are some moves we can practice in here.

Dana Sheets - thought you might be interested as well.

Today I managed to reconnect with my first karate teacher - who I lost touch with sometime in the 90s before there was much of an internet. His teacher, Bobby Boyd, now has a website, and when I asked after Tommy, Bobby was able to say Tommy is one of his oldest and favorite students - and still practicing after 40 years. Great news...

Good class on Monday night where we worked on a number of blocking techniques and some eye strike ideas.

Had an interesting talk with my teacher on Monday and wanted to share a thought - ku kumite is about learning to maintain distance (among many other things), dan kumite is about jamming up your opponent's attacks (among many other things). It's not entirely that simple - but maybe it is.
