Class with Hiroko and Ivan. We started with kihon cuts, pairing head and wrist (men and kote), and temple and waist. We then went through progressively more complicated combinations, based on one step (OS) techniques. First was OS1 with a followup right temple strike; next was left thrust block with right temple, advance and head, advance and left waist cut; last was OS7 with head strike to the rear as opponent attempts to evade, left 180 to kneeling left waist, advance with right thrust. The last combination we took to bunkai with shinai as it was designed for one defender with two attackers.
