Training notes-karate class kick drills

We worked on some basic kick defense drills. First using an open hand parry adn then blocking with legs.

Remember to focus on having a good foundation AND good balance. One of the big take-aways from these drills is recovering balance as well as practicing some defense moves.

Tight fingers & timing are important when using the hands..as always body positioning is key!

Timing, balance and recovery are also hard when using legs, but legs defenses are usually more practical…

Stance, alignment and recovery need to be always in your mind when training.
