Day 16 (83,4) - Legs

I twisted my shoulder yesterday so today is a pite slow. Maybe stretching and studying. I also noticed that I am middle weight - not a big dude. I was in the middle when we lined up according our weight to roll.
In the evening I'll do my leg routine C - becouse the bar is on the lats. (Other routines bar is in front and it stresses my shoulder much more.)


Workout C (legs)
Warm up 5 minutes rowing.
Squat. Parallel 30x10, 40x10, 50x10, 50x10, 50x10.

Single leg squat 60x10, 70x6, 80x4, 70x6, 60x8

Last three sets:
Hip abductors 80x10x3
Hamstrings 50x10x3
Leg extention70x10x3
Three sets are done rotating with out breaks.

I looked at pinan katas to make my own kata. Pinan katas are developed as an educational tool to teach large groups and basic techniques. So there might not be a very big idea of compat or fight in these katas. It's just compinations and stance to teach basics. Good goal would be to insert basic techniques to all five pinan katas. For now I don't know what the basics are, but something from BJJ, boxing and karate.

If i reflect on what I think are basic skills, it would look like this:
- Ukemis
- grip fight
- kuzushi (breaking balance)
- blocking - slipping
- moving left - right
- counter ( move closer) - dropping center of weight
- punches - 1 - 2- hook - empi
- kicks - pushkick, roundhouse, kakatogeri, uramawa
- ashibarai, hiza katame, ouchi gari, tomoenage
-bjj positions, guards, passes, sweeps and submissions ( americana, triangle, Juji, kimura, shokes)

Now how to imply these in a kata? Shadow boxing to improve my technique...
After looking at all five pinan katas, there is no reason to copy the structure of those katas to be used as a "storyline" for my own kata. I think I'll look for a story line from my own basic techniques and situations where I need the technique most. It's shadow boxing - so it should be used for training.
