Training in fundamental movements and techniques is absolutely essential to core skill development and the ability to understand and utilise the basic positions in karate. In this seminar we worked through exercises to practice the positions of Jodan Uke, Chudan Uke and Gedan Uke (upper, middle, lower receive) and their utilisation.
We also practice the first kata from the Matsubayashiryu system, Fukyukata Ichi, which serves as a summary practice of jodan and gedan uke positions.
