That's not to say that there's no cross-over, there is but it was mainly a case of learning lots of different techniques,like 5 different strangles with a tonfa or 5 different throws with the nunchaku. We weren't really taught how to hold and manipulate the weapons properly through the use of kata and all the stances were different. It was useful and good experience to train in a different system for a while - gives you a broader perspective but at the end of the day we have so much more karate to learn and the jujitsu stuff was just starting to get in the way - it was just too many different things to learn and practice for the time we have available.Sue Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16008609198511182782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361443425638782419.post-79508145564962919802012-09-04T15:32:03.137+01:002012-09-04T15:32:03.137+01:00Time off is always a pleasure - glad to see you en...Time off is always a pleasure - glad to see you enjoyed yourself to the fullest.<br /><br />This may be too large of a question for this forum, but I am interested to know what aspects of your former kobudo training did not mesh well with karate. <br /><br />As for my plans? I think "Stay the course" sums it up: more karate training, weight training, plyo, stretching, etc.<br /><br /><br />-BrettThe Strongest Karatehttp://www.kyokushinblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361443425638782419.post-86686362716906563752012-09-04T07:32:50.634+01:002012-09-04T07:32:50.634+01:00Ha ha ha!
