KARL & MAX TRAINING FOR THEIR UPCOMING SHODAN TEST

This is Karl and Max training in preparation for their Ninpo Shodan test at the upcoming UK Brighton Tai Kai under Tanemura Soke, at the end of October. Good Luck guys!

The other photo is of Simon, taken after he'd just finished the CrossFit WOD (Workout of the Day) after the main class. It was a benchmark workout called 'Fran': 21, 15, 9 reps of: 42kg Thrusters (Front Squat & Push Press) & Pull Ups. We scaled the weight on the thrusters accordingly depending on the students own fitness levels and used dumbells instead of a barbell. Pull ups were also scaled to jumping pull ups for those that are still working on their 'kipping pull up' technique.

Great job guys!

Myojo Dojo's 10th Birthday!

It will be MYOJO DOJO's 10th Birthday on October 31st 2009!

Let's celebrate... suggestions on a postcard...

How great that we are able to train with Tanemura Soke at the Tenshin Hyoho Kukishin Ryu UK Tai Kai on our birthday too! :-)

Thank you to all my students that have shared the good times but also endured through the harder times and still continue to train on this Martial path, striving to be better warriors and human beings.

May your spirits continue to shine bright!

UK Tai Kai 2008 - Myojo Dojo

Only a few weeks to go until Tanemura Sensei returns to Brighton, UK, this time to teach the Tenshin Hyoho Kukishin Ryu! It's going to be amazing!

Sweat Angel :-)

Above is Karl's 'Sweat Angel' from last week's post-class CrossFit WOD (Workout Of The Day) called 'Fight Gone Bad'. A great name for a great workout that taxes your anaerobic metabolic pathway regardless of how fit or unfit you are. We scaled it to suit different people's fitness needs.
