For example, I would avoid haito uchi for #4 and #5 (taisho works best for #4 and seiryuto for #5). #10 and #11 should be hand techniques and not kicks.<br /><br />For the rear vitals, here's what I'd suggest:<br /><br />1. Base of the skull – taisho<br />2. Between the shoulder blades – tate tsuki<br />3. Floating ribs – shuto uchi<br />4. 4th Lumbar vertebra – tate tsuki<br />5. Kidneys – nihon taisho<br />6. Coccyx – choku tsuki<br /><br />Again - none of these are set in stone, but some work much better than others!Noah-senseihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15972536910930329045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564662488239109444.post-55483618290355042692014-01-13T15:31:56.987-05:002014-01-13T15:31:56.987-05:00Meredith - Bo hojoundo dai san techniques are:

No, there is no specific name for the stepping motion you're describing in Shushi-no Kon; the clavicle strike does also not have a name, although it falls somewhere between <i>jodan uchi</i> and <i>jodan naname uchi</i> - this strike is unique to this kata.<br /><br />2. The sweeping strike does not have a name in kobudo. I might unofficially describe it as an <i>ashi barai</i> (leg sweep), but that is not an "official" name.<br /><br />3. Correct - there are 3 attackers in Shushi-no Kon: <i>hidari-no teki</i> (enemy to the left), <i>migi-no teki</i> (enemy to the right), and <i>mae-no teki</i> (enemy to the front). There is no <i>ushiro-no teki</i> (enemy to the rear) in this kata.<br /><br />4. In this kata, you'll see <i>fudo dachi</i>, <i>sochin dachi</i>, <i>sagi ashi dachi</i>, and <i>shinobi dachi</i>, although none of these are official kobudo stances. . . remember: there are no stances in OKDR!Noah-senseihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15972536910930329045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564662488239109444.post-807536984438677412013-07-11T23:05:48.587-04:002013-07-11T23:05:48.587-04:00Hi Sensei Noah
I hope your hand in feeling better....Hi Sensei Noah<br />I hope your hand in feeling better. A couple of clarification questions if you don't mind.<br /><br />1. Is there a name for the high step (right over left) performed after the series of six? And following that step, is there a special name for the strike to the claivicle or is considered a jodan uchi?<br /><br />2. Is a name for the dep sweeping block performed right after the high jodan uke? (The block performed just before the gorendo).<br /><br />3. Using a compass to designate the turns in the Shushi-no Kon, it is true that we never face south? I noticed while mapping the moves using a compass to orient myself- we don't ever face south or 180 degrees from our starting position.<br /><br />Are there any new stances- or any stances aside from zenkutsu dachi, han zenkutsu dachi and neko dachi?<br /><br />Thanks so much and keep healing,<br />MerryMer-on-Hudsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05060972168831111979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564662488239109444.post-64014135555370164202013-05-16T12:41:28.642-04:002013-05-16T12:41:28.642-04:00Merry,

...Merry,<br /><br />Regarding bo hojoundo dai ni series kumi:<br /><br />#1 & #2 - the uke's attack is gedan naname uchi - surely just a type-o on your part, but worth mentioning just in case. . .<br /><br />#3 - yes, the tori advances and performs sunakake. As a reaction to this, the uke retreats, stepping back out of the way of the sand throw and switching grips, taking up a right chudan kamae.<br /><br />#5 - yes, the tori is performing the hojoundo (jodan gyaku uchi/gyaku tsuki), and the uke is defending. The uke's movements are the same as the final rep in the individuals kumi: the uke jumps around in place (not stepping back, as in the first 4 reps of the individuals) and parries the gyaku tsuki. The counter attack is a jodan gyaku tsuki.<br /><br />Hope this helps!<br /><br />Noah-senseihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15972536910930329045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564662488239109444.post-91340733197497242492013-05-13T13:42:33.340-04:002013-05-13T13:42:33.340-04:00Hi Sensei
