This is a log of my journey to Shotokan Karate Shodan and beyond.

Friday Karate Class – 5/9/08 – Japanese along with some kihon.

May 9, 2008 by doug Leave a Comment

Sensei Noia broke the class up into two groups. The ones who wanted to spar went off with him and the rest of us, who wanted to do kata, went with Sensei Gatch.

This class went by really fast for some reason.  I am not sure why but it felt like we just started and then it was over.

Sensei Gatch had us work on our basics for a good amount of time but instead of doing our normal drills, he spoke in Japanese.  He gave us our moves both in groups and one at a time to make sure we new our Japanese terms.
