Shiranamikai members enjoyed a sizzling training session with Ohta Sensei on what was the hottest day of the year so far, in the middle of a heatwave. But it couldn’t have been better timed than our half past midday finish.
Basics incorporated each of the Shotokan fundamental stances of front, side and back. Kumite was full-on, engaging, and featured body- and weight-shifting for senior grades.
We finished on katas Nijushiho and Bassai Dai.
Well done to those who graded.
