Proper 3 hour Camp middle of August weekend
Summer heat meant staying in the shade on both fields
KALI on "First" Field
We rarely use the First Field - last time was two summers ago when we broke down the Dakentaijutsu over two hours on a Summer Thursday
Today we used it for KALI Sinawalli - double stick drills with variations
TOP FIELD
As the Circle itself was under the sun, we used the shade of the middle tree - where we lost those arrows back in 2013
KALI
- Double stick application and the UNARMED KEMPO applications
KRABI KRABONG
- 8 step and 10 step drills
- Krabi double swords
- Krabong short spear
this is done as sticks for the swords and Jo for the spear and gives a depth to two swords NITTO against the JO and short YARI not often covered in Japan
as the Unarmed Phase of THAI Arts forms what became MUAY THAI
and there are some elements and drills in THAI that are not covered in such depth in Japanese Karate
Hence the reason why we include THAI arts in our training - both the Weapons and Unarmed
JO v JO
JO v Sticks
