Some ideas for Heian godan

Here's an informal video taken at the end of a lesson, as a reminder for students. All the applications were filmed in a slow/didactic way, passive resistance. We really enjoyed experimenting, every suggestion (and critique) is really appreciated.

PS: yes, the straight oi-tsuki launched from kilometers is unrealistic, but it's well known by students...

Excellent stuff, with some fresh ideas in there.

Thanks for sharing.

All the best,

That’s an information dense video with some nice variations. Thanks for posting.

Love it! You fully understand your audience. You also both “know your enemy” and the value of “pre-emption” :-)

All the best,

Iain

Obviouls quesiton then.  Why are you attacking with it?

Get rid of it (as an attack, not all together) and replace it.

Paul, most of the students come from many years of Shotokan-ization, so I tend to stay in their natural habitat in a first phase, trying to remove some of the "issues" slowly.
