Thanks to everyone for a great turnout for a wednesday night. I it’s pretty laid back there, but the more people we can get out to our classes the better off the new place will be. It’s also quite nice to train there because of the high ceilings.

After class on Saturday Chris, Jamie, Taylor Sensei and I had an impromptu club meeting over lunch at the new Shinobi Sushi restaurant on 224th, very good btw, during which an idea was floated about posting the weeks techniques on the blog to give everyone an idea of what we would be doing ahead of schedule and also as a method of keeping track of techniques performed for future reference. During Parker Shihans ‘06 Seminar he put myself and Greg in contact with Ashley Hennessey Sensei from London, Ontario. Hennessey Sensei has drafted a 6 month outline that we think would be a would be  a very good starting point for the Advanced portion of Tuesdays class with Taylor Sensei’s input at the Thursday class.

For the week of Feb 2/09 the following techniques will be performed in class.

Advanced Techniques

Hanmi handachi katate mochi shihonage 1/2
Shomen uchi shihonage
