Standard burpees and stretch\/warmup. Sanchin a couple times (Frank Sensei attempted to work with me 1-on-1 on the side a bit). After the break, I worked with the group focused on the first bo kata (something like “Shihan Nukite”, but that’s not quite right). It repeats four times, with a quarter left turn between each. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My rough understanding of the kata:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Starting heisoku-dachi with bo in right hand, the left takes hold above and you step right moto-dachi with a CW chudan uke, pull back to heisoku-dachi and righthand sliding back, then switch dominate hand and strike (head\/collar) left moto-dachi. Repeat once more right moto-dachi. Chudan uke and pull back to naihanchi-dachi, switch to overgrip and block down. Right hand up to ear and press vertically left, rotate bo 180 and press back right, and block directly down again. Right-left-right kote strike, block down once more. Block horizontally high, switch right hand grip, and strike\/block 180 CW geidan to right zenkutsu-dachi. Vertical 180 kote\/chin strike. 180 CCW head\/collar strike. “Figure 8” staff wheeling, finish right moto-dachi. Right face thrust. Step right leg back, left moto-dachi, staff along right of body, and begin repeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
