This drill is very common in Okinawan karate, and across Asian martial arts, as a whole. First, we show you the formal drill, and then we show some examples of how the drill can be adapted for use against a variety of strikes. Like last week's drill, this one is a platform drill, in addition to developing timing, deflection, tactile sensitivity, and limb control skills. This means that you can mix up the strikes, and use the drill to open into other techniques.

Waza Wednesday--the day Sensei Richard Poage shares a karate or kobudo technique with the world. Sensei Poage is a Shorin-Ryu Shorinkan practitioner under Sensei Eddie Bethea, and specializes in kata bunkai (analysis). He teaches at Peaceful Warrior Martial Arts & Healing Center in Scottsdale, AZ, and is available to book for seminars.

Peaceful Warrior was founded in 2010 by Renshi Richard M. Poage and Sensei Tiffany Richards, with a mission to create a community where health, wellness and martial arts training are used to better the lives of its members. It is our wish that through the training of the martial arts and other holistic health practices, our students are motivated to live healthier lives physically, mentally and spiritually.
