During the ceremony for the Holocaust survivors we will be training behind the dojo, at the sport yard. We will repeat kicking and boxing drill combined with the relevant sabaki sets.
Tel Aviv Ninjutsu – AKBAN
Because of the special considerations to Holocaust remembrance day we will do some of our training on difficult terrain emphasizing sabaki skills plus the punch – kick combinations.
Jerusalem Ninjutsu – AKBAN
We are continuing the work on reaction patterns and distance. Using the Gyokko ryu kata we will dismantle the moves and practice them against focus mitts at the first training session.
At the veterans’ session we will work with Kusari and knives on reaction and distancing using the intermediate sabaki patterns.
Tel Aviv Ninjutsu – AKBAN
We just spent the last two years honing our sabaki skills and learning basic Ninjutsu striking and kick combos.
Today we will continue on merging these techniques together using several Gyokko ryu kata as a hub.
The way I experienced it, Tai sabaki and striking skills, no matter how efficient and strong, are not good enough in Randori. What binds distancing punches and kicks together are instincts and reaction patterns that are practiced over and over.
I can compare the method I am using now with the method I was using several years ago and see the results in the sparring sessions.
We will learn to apply several Gyokko ryu kata against an attacking opponent. Gyokko ryu, which converts a linear force to a cricular reaction will be used in the context of re-action drills and striking.

After going over the techniques we need for our green belt syllabus we will work with middle level reaction drills.
At the week of Pesach there will be no training sessions at Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Ramat Hashsaron dojos. We return after Passover.

Starting with orange belt syllabus we will go over the difficult techniques of the orange and green belts. At the second session we will enjoy basic level kick reactions that will improve our timing and blood circulation.
Jerusalem Ninjutsu – AKBAN
We are working today on the concise syllabus of orange and green belt exams.
Both training sessions will be dedicated to this only, with the second session emphasizing weapons.
If there will be time left we will work out with two Ninjutsu re-action drills.

Slowly, like a snail, I am writing the huge Ninjutsu syllabus. Last month I finished the Koto ryu kata, now the logical continuation is Gyokko ryu. This is the first strategy level, the Jo ryaku no maki.
