朝のクラスでは、腹圧や仙骨の基本的な運動から始め、基本組手裏12本目に繋がる動きを探求するため、逆突き、腰の練り、運足などの基本技に進みました。これらの基本を使って、太刀取り、基本組手裏12本目、基本組手3本目、最後に自由組手を行いました。
普段から基本が何に繋がるのかを意識して稽古していますが、今日は今まで以上に基本の大切さを感じた、とても充実した一日でした。
Today, after the morning class, the monthly practice was held at the headquarters dojo of Wado-Ryu Karate-Do Renmei. We learned Nukite, Tsuki, Joudan Uke, Junzuki, the application of these basic techniques, and Bassai movements 1-9 from Grand Master Ⅲ Hironori Otsuka Sensei.
In the morning class, I started with basic abdominal pressure and sacral exercises to explore movements connected to Kihon Kumite Ura 12 honme, then moved on to basic techniques such as Gyakuzuki, Neri of the waist, and stepwork. Using these basics, I performed Sword Defense, Kihon Kumite Ura 12 honme, and Kihon Kumite 3 bonme, and finally Free Sparring.
I usually practice while being conscious of how the basics connect to something, but today was a very fruitful day for me, where I felt the importance of the basics more than ever before.
