Hey, Sensei!

The Hut

Just a few lines to let you know what we’re up to at the Hut. On 11/15 Jim Hulse will be with us. He is also teaching a seminar on the 16th at Fedele’s. On Dec 13 Jake Steinman will be with us and will teach us some of his Muay Thai drills and philosophy. At a date to be arranged, Arthur McLeod will be teaching us some crossover techniques between uechi-ryu and aikido (remember Arthur, a third dan in uechi-ryu who left and later became a third dan in aikido).
We start every class now with a long sanchin, the three part one. Not everyone goes for it, so a couple of folks come to the traditional class at 10:00.

We have been doing all of the partner drills (kumite, bonkai, hitting drills on the pads) with gloves on so that people can block real attacks. Changes the timing and distancing and adds another slight reality element.

The kata Ryuko is now a staple form for us and we do it every class. We have been doing some judo ‘reaping’ (sweeping and tripping) drills to round out a lot of the uechi moves. In other words, the Hut continues to be a kind of laboratory for us, always a work in progress, always fun and interesting.

In my personal home workouts I have been doing a sanchin variant with gloves against the heavy bag. 500 (on a short day) and 1000 (on a long day) sanchin strikes (fists in the gloves) against the bag… makes for another slight improvement over time in the way my weight is thrown.
Please post this so anyone who would like to participate with Jim Hulse or Jake Steinman can know. I’ll let you know when we schedule Arthur. The Saturday class at the Hut starts at 9:30 and ends at 11:30. Mat fee, $15.
