This week the Technique is submitted by guest composer
Mr. David Tamir, Okinawan Karate Dojo, Merritt Island, Fl.
Arigato,
Kyoshi.
Discussion concerning training while on business
travel in a hotel room with narrow open spaces. I have
effectively utilized many of our katas which were
designed for fighting in predominantly a linear
pattern.
Some of these include special exercise
Oyotanren, Pinan Sho-San-Go, Naihanchi Sho-Ni-San,
Rohai, Wanshu, Passai, Gojushiho, and Chinto. It is
interesting to note that the spectrum of these katas
covers a wide range of deshi ranks, allowing green belts
and above to train in a tight hotel room.
Attached please find a short (15 sec) video clip of a
portion of Naihanchi Sandan performed between the hotel
bed and the armoire.
Domo Arigato Gozaimas,
