Dee and Jerry, I think the attached photo would be good to share, either online or as a printout in the dojo–or both. It so well demonstrates the need to get low, drop center, bend knees–and this is Shibata Sensei who is over 70 years old. Specifically, this is for katamenuchi shihonage.
Buck, via email.
I agree.
Agreed! Use your knees while you have them guys!
Small correction. Shibata Sensei is only my dads age, he’s like maybe 62 not over 70. haha
Wasn’t Winter Camp fun this year?
Yeah, you’re right. Sensei was born in 1950, which makes him 62 years old.
