Today my gym partner is back from Malesia and I'll get back to strengthening my legs - tomorrow.
Today it's BJJ class and I'll be an octobus with my legs:-) I'll hook every move and use kuzushi all the time. (Have to use my legs because my arms are wasted.)
I think I'll start to practise karate kata's. Maybe wado ryu - but with bunkai and my own technique. Interesting article about what a kata is - maybe we can develop katas for BJJ too - or Gracie would call them reaction drills?
First kata in wado ryu is Pinan Shodan. Link is to late Tatsuo Suzuki doing it. If the purpose it to practise techniques for good compinations? Is there much to take from this example? Are the blocks ones that I would use? Would I attack with a nukite ( fingers?). I looked for bunkai of Pinan Shodan. Makes it totally different:-) I need to make my own choreography - bunkai.
First kata should be agaist most popular attacks - in my sparring/rolling and defence - attacks the way I would do it. So wado ryu is only a blue print or a storyline to follow. For instance I don't get why do three shoto ukes - so I'll turn it to grappling take down?
