Balbriggan Dojo. 3 September 2023

 Today in Balbriggan Dojo we focused on different footwork against the Yokomen Uchi attack:

• Tai no Henko
• Tai no Henko Ki no Nagare
• Morotedori Kokyuho
• 7 footwork patterns against Yokomen Uchi attacks:
1. Yokomen Uchi Tanren
2. Ikkyo entrance
3. Ki no nagare Iriminage entrance
4. Shihonage Kihon entrance
5. Shihonage Ki no Nagare entrance - 30 deg outside the line of attack
6. Shihonage Ki no Nagare entrance - 30 deg inside theline of attack
7. Shihonage Ki no Nagare entrance - 90 deg inside the line of attack followed by 45 deg hip turn

Then we worked on some techniques corresponding to that footwork:

• Youkomen Uchi Kokyunage
• Yokomen Uchi Ikkyo
• Yokomen Uchi Iriminage Ki no Nagare
• Yokomen Uchi Shihonage Kihon
