Goju Ryu Karate – Session 2

My 2nd class was actually on the 12th and i forgot to wrote a post about it. So my recollection will be difficult now; i was away for week of the 16th. Essentially the class came down to the following:

Body Conditioning; such as push ups and sit ups were prominantly done. we did two lines, with each line facing one another and each side took turns to do the exercises; then the otherwise would do their 10 or 20 of the exercise and this was repeated a few times.

Various combinations of strikes were practised , one in particular started with us doing a side step with a upper block, then turning that block into a downward strike; followed by a regular punch, which was then followed by a step forward with the left leg, bringing in an elbow strike towards the face area.
