makiwara training
Perhaps you have noticed that I have not uploaded anything to YouTube since March. I really did not have time due to i.e. the book and Adobe Premiere crashed.. Anyway, it works again so I decided to upload a piece on makiwara training. This video is captured at our dojo in Capelle a/d IJssel (near Rotterdam). Most other videos are shot in Gorinchem.

kumite updates
In short, the following have been updated with descriptions of all techniques, none missing, new videos, images from Ohtsuka senseis 1939 tanto dori and screenshots from Ishikawa sensei's DVD. Sanbon chudan uke, jodan uke, maegeri uke, ohyo kumite, kihon kumite, tanto dori and idori. And, full SEISHAN kata by Ishikawa sensei from his last demonstration in Bulgaria 2007.
kihon kumite videos
Not really something new, but I have extracted perfomances of 2 demonstrations of kihon gumite (1984 and 2007) of Ishikawa sensei into seperate files. I thought perhaps that would be easier then looking them up over various files.
I uploaded Kihon kumite 1, 2, 4 and 5.
kata kaisetsu
The driving force to understand kata is Kaisetsu in Wado, which is the study of the principles of kata and are demonstrated with a partner with simple common sense for karate.
Pinan shodan, pinan nidan and yondan kaisetsu videos online!
pinan kata
Recent work of Pinan Nidan and Pinan Shodan. At our Wintercamp we organised competitions in the afternoon on saturday. More from a joke then seriousness I got up from my chair after some hours to 'show' pinan nidan. Not all that great, but for now..
