Last weeks have been very busy in the AKBAN wiki. New articles and techniques were added and a minor button on the top navigation allows us to browse random techniques.
Content wise I have now arranged all the Kukishin Ryu kata of the first, Shoden gata, level. Video of the Kata of the Okuden gata level were uploaded earlier today to our YouTube feed and I thank the veterans who helped me document the valuable information.
We will be repeating the last session’s armlocks techniques and go over even more devastating setups between throws and locks. The session will be completed with intense Ninjutsu combinations.
In the first session we are repeating various Ninjutsu combos, focusing on sabaki and kick combinations. We will explore the Totoku Hyoshi stance and connect it to sabaki.
At the second, veteran, session we will be using the Osoto Geri, Osoto gake and O Guruma throws. We are setting these throws with advanced elbow and shoulder arm locks.
We are continuing to explore the two-on-one grip moving from O-gyaku to Ninjutsu seoe and back into Osoto geri.
The second part of this session will be full speed punching drills.
At the first session we will work arm locks and throws setting these up wit two kicks: Ninjutsu Mawashi geri and Mikazuki sokushi.
At the second session we will take the Kuzushi element from several Kukishinden kata and work with it.
Using several throws, Kicks and locks, mainly Tani otoshi, Seoe (Ninjutsu) and Kakato kobura geri, we will alterate between solid throws and setups for advanced Joint locks.
At the second veterans’ session we will also add some stick techniques in conjunction with the Taijutsu.
Using the Tani otoshi throw we are going to alternate between shoulder locks, grappling under-hook and middle distance striking.
The second half of the session will be fast paced Ninjutsu combos.
