Sanchin Dachi, Warm-ups, Kata - 8 Sessions Recap

September 8th, 2008 ·

Just so you won’t miss the things we’ve done in the last 8 sessions or so, here’s a recap.

1st-2nd session

Nothing much really, we were just told to follow what we can. We did Mas Oyama’s warmup, tried to handstand, knuckle push-ups, sit-ups and this weird kind of stance called “Sanchin Dachi” (Click here to see what it looks like). According to our sensei (Who’s top 8 over 500 Kyokushin fighters in his division), this stance is used to concentrate our force so every attack blows more power.

3rd-5th session

I was able to do the Sanchin Dachi a little bit more proper and was going smoothly on the warm-up.

This time, we were taught some Kata - leg movements at the moment and hands on our belt.

6th session

Kata with punches now.

7th-present session

We applied “Geri” or kicks to our Kata and warm-up was kinda like breathing now. I can’t stand long enough though with my hands.

That’s bout it, for those who are wondering what kinds of kicks we’ve done so far, I’ll whip out a post later :-)
