QUT Ninjutsu

For this monday session it was raining so we trained indoors at Z-block 2 level 3. We looked at footage from the 2007 Australian Taikai (Meeting of all the Senior Australian Instructors) and examined taijutsu and balance taking. We practiced different throws, throw counters, and grip breaking techniques. We also examined advanced kicking concepts. Friday's session is on as usual.

In our inaugural Friday session we covered advanced breathing exercises and practiced breathing under pressure. We covered Sanshin with an advanced fitness component and moved on to the Koshi Sanpo section of Kihon. We also covered basic cuts from Jodan as well as receiving a cut from Jodan by using principles from the Koshi Sanpo. Finally we analysed and compared the difference between unarmoured sword technique and armoured sword technique. We closed the class with a light striking sparring session. Our Monday class will be on as usual.
