2011		 Wednesday some the students learned a very valuable lesson. They learned a new form (Heian Yondan) however through learning Nyumon Futari-geiko, Tegumi, Gyaku Waza and Shimme Waza beforehand, they already knew some great applications for the form at first sight.
August 10,
2011		 Bonus: Principles covered this week;
1) Protect the computer. T-rex arms.
2) Legs and hips support trunk and shoulders
3) Exploit their balance, shoulders past hips
4) TSJF - Power delivery supports the direction of the application

2010		 Thanks again to Renshi Jason Griffiths for the recent seminars. Saturday covered Bo fundamentals while Sunday covered the 12 Motubu drills and Naihanchi kata. Of most value to KU-SA students was the review session on the Wenesday, aimed at tidying up those loose ends. A very beneficial session indeed.

November 24,
2010		 Tonight: after Junbi Undo, Ne-Keri Waza and Kihon Uke Waza we worked various individual HAPV looking at different defences. Specifically we sampled from Combat Hapkido, Chinese/American Kenpo and Shotokan Karate showing how standard syllabus techniques from these systems also directly relate KU HAPV and particularly Tegumi.
 
November 23,
2010		 Tonight; pad work, Tegumi, Heishu Waza and Kansetsu 12-15. Plenty of sweat.

Welcome to newcommer, Jase

October 30,
2010		 Last night was the first KU study group in SA. A small but enthusiastic group came along and learned some ideas and principles they could learn and take back to their dojo. We covered some Shime Waza, Kansetsu/Tuite Waza and Tegumi. I'm sure these session will grow into a valuable tool for those teachers seeking new ideas.
 
October 29,
2010		 Classes this week have been on Naihanchi and dynamic pad drills.

October 21,
2010		 Last nights lesson; Tsuki Waza (all 210 at high intensity, well done team!), Kihon Uke Waza, some Kaishu Waza and Kamae Waza with a particular focus on detail. Are those hips moving? Is your breath synchronised with your movement? Are your legs promoting locomotion of the trunk? Is your posture correct and does it supp...ort your application. Remember team, the technique as is will support the given application..Shuhari
