Last Saturday’s class focused on advanced applications of Nidan (2nd Dan) principles. Some of our student favorites were Konoha Gaeshi, Aya Dori, and Maki Komi. Learning the relationships between principles and how to transition between them is essential to controlling attackers.
In Hakko Denshin Ryu, we study waza (forms) and henka (practical applications). This past week, Shihan Evans covered fine points in waza and various transitions students can use to move from one submission principle to another.
Saturday’s class focused on effective strikes, setting armbars and how easily chokes can be applied in different positions.
