    Warm up series by Francisco ASTUDILLO




    Spinning shuto-uchi


    The Karate-player use to be so tense in the upper front an back level, specifically at the shoulder level and torso and all the area where are evolved the hip. this due to expend a lot of time training straight movements punch and few type of kick. I would like to show you some kind of training for disengage this area of the body.

    1. The firs exercise is relate to the shoulder, deltoid and trapezius, the key point is release this area in coordination with your breath and doing movement with wide range of the displacement.
    See here



    2. The follow exercise is relate to spinning and the uses of the side of you hand (shuto and haito). The key point is developed a right balance between spinning and circular movement. Be relax and let the body continue its track, this will give you real balance, coordination and endurance of your hand's parts.
    See here



    3. Geri-Kick: The present sequences shows us simple combination kicks which allows to keep good balance, develop strength, reaction, and flexibility in the Queadriceps, Hamstrings, calves, calf, adductor, Archilles's tendor and foot's plant, ball and border (shukuto, koshi, sukutei). Makes focus on pull back each geri, lift the knee form the star on till the end, flexibility, and use the correct part of the foot, otherwise the kick could lose control and performance.
    See here.




    4. Unsu Kata: Just be relax when execute any Kata, in this case Unsu "Cloud Hands". focus on each singular technique, make sure that each one is on right place and right time. Hold the tension when is necessary and release when isn't.

    5. Try always to do something different, brake the routine, add a few movement of spinning kick, spinning strike, frontal and circular kick attack, you also could just made focus on meddle level, be relax and try to follow up certain patron on your mind of different scenarios during of real Kumite, and let it go...

    In this case of sequence you can feel how your body work out, add at least a max of 5 min rest between sequences, repeat each set on till you feel happy, be aware on each part of your body is working and connect your mind with this, this kind of exercise allows you build up your neuro-muscle condition, important point for all karate players and enjoy yourself

      En este Kihon reforzaremos lo aprendido en el Gohon Kumite y adicionaremos una técnica mas la cual es Mae Geri, dando la oportunidad al principiante empezar a entrenar este tipo de patada frontal. El Kihon se ejecuta a tres pasos, siguiendo el estándar de estos kihon se debe contra atacar en el último ataque.

      Kihon Kumite Series. Kihon Gohon Kumite 1/6



      Kihon Gohon Kumite

      The Kihon Gohon Kumite is the Technician principal that allows the introduction at the Kumite predetermined Shiai or frees Jyu. In this Kihon the practitioners developed the lesson according their level. Running the real distance as much as attack as block, correct stance, timing and momentum. The main thing is the commitment of the right technique execution and being the timing one of the complex technique elements to domain.
      In the Kihon Gohon Kumite you have to do a hand attack technique ((Yodan Oi Tzuki y Chudan Oi Tzuki­­) and two specific block (Yodan Age Uke y Chudan Soto Uke), the step are determinate for the Kihon’s name, in this case 5 step, in this last step you have to counter attack with jiaku-tsuki. The beginner must understand that after one block they should immediately attack.
      Other important detail is the respect for you panther, begin and finishing  with bow, as the ukete as samete must specify each technik with Kime, would have special control in the counter attack of Jiaku-Tsuki.
      Ossu.

      El Kihon Kumite es el principio técnico que permite la introducción al Kumite ya sea predeterminada Shiai o Jyu, En estos Kihon los practicantes desarrollan lo aprendido en las lecciones de su nivel de cinta, ejecutando la real distancia tanto para efectuar ataques y bloqueos, la correcta posiciones, el tiempo de ejecución, ritmo, Lo principal es el cumplimiento de la correcta ejecución de la técnica y, siendo el dominio del timing uno de los elementos tácticos más complejo de dominar.
      En el Kihon Gohon Kumite se realizan una técnica de ataque de mano (Yodan Oi Tzuki y Chudan Oi Tzuki­­) y dos de bloqueo (Yodan Age Uke y Chudan Soto Uke) la cantidad de pasos viene determinada por el nombre del Kiho, para este caso se harán 5 pasos y en este ultimo paso se debe tener la habilidad de contra-atacar con Jiaku-Tsuki, parte fundamental en el proceso de aprendizaje del principiante al comprender que luego de un bloque debe ser seguido por un ataque.
      Otro aspecto importante es sentir el respeto por tu oponente, comenzando y terminando con saludo, tanto el ukete como el semete deben precisar sus tecnicas con kimte, debiendo tener sumo control el ukete al momento del contra atacque de Jiaku Tsuki.
      Ossu.
