Bo/Tonfa Drills

This seminar will teach participants a 10 sequence bo-tonfa kumite drill.  Formatted after both bo-bo and bo-sai kumite, participants will work through bo attacks and tonfa defense and counters.  Please bring your bo and/or tonfa with you.  Beginners with the bo and/or tonfa are welcome and encouraged to attend!

 

Focus Pad Drills (younger students)

During this drill, participants will work through a 10 step drill that teaches accuracy, power, body movement and eventually speed.  This will be a fun, fast-paced and high-energy seminar geared towards our younger Isshinryu karateka.
