Hi all, and Happy New Year!
With the dojo closed for the New Year holidays (Dec 30–Jan 7), I sometimes needed a little extra push to kickstart my practice. What can I say — the “holiday spirit” had its claws in me deep!
Luckily, at times like these I can turn to any number of training videos and practice along with an inspirational instructor for a bit, to help get me started.
This week, I revisited the home training video series that my friend Carlos made for the JKS Headquarters’ YouTube channel. If you haven’t already, I highly recommend you check these out for some inspiration from Toyama Sensei and Okamoto Sensei, with technical instruction from Yamaguchi Sensei.
Besides the series below, I can also recommend the Karate Basics playlist and the Kumite Basics playlist. Not just for beginners, but for anyone who wants to up their game the JKS way. Happy holidays, and happy training!
