I attended the Portland SKA dojo tonight with practice led by Haycraft Sensei. Stretch warm up followed by some kumite oriented drills, working up from shuffle forward, shuffle in mai te, shuffle in mai te gyaku zuki, shuffle in mai te gyaku zuki switch stance, slip inside of an oi zuki switch stance mai te gyaku zuki. All of this was first solo up and back, then partnered to provide a target. Upper ranks also worked on proper control/distance of the mai te.
We then moved into kata, performing both Haian Sandon and Basai approx 10 or so times each.
