Class Record: Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu

A very warm night at the Dojo, keiko began with free moving Taijutsu which included looking at kyojitsu and how various waza such as musha dori and gansaki nage can be found in the initial moments of kumiuchi. We worked with more Taijutsu for the second half of the class, some of the senior students demonstrating their interpretations of principles found within some of the Ryu-ha, which we then expanded on. It is really important to recognise that the generation of power for Taijutsu comes from a relaxed body. With the heat and being tired toward the end of training, its easy to tighten up try to power through but this won't help you sharpen your technique and will only drain your energy further!
