From Wikipedia, "Obon (お盆?) or just Bon (盆?) is a Japanese Buddhist custom to honor the departed (deceased) spirits of one's ancestors. This Buddhist custom has evolved into a family reunion holiday during which people return to ancestral family places and visit and clean their ancestors' graves, and when the spirits of ancestors are supposed to revisit the household altars. It has been celebrated in Japan for more than 500 years and traditionally includes a dance, known as Bon-Odori."
ONE POINT LESSON
ARE BON DANCE MOVEMENTS ACTUALLY BLOCKS? (^^)
Combining Kihon Uke Waza with Uchi Waza
One of the problems in teaching Blocking techniques in the standard or typical Kihon Keiko is that there is a disconnect with the block and counter. Most Kihon Geiko starts with warm ups followed by Sonoba (Stationary) Punches, Strikes, Blocks and Kicks. This is then followed by Ido which normally still uses the waza singularly. Oizuki, Gyakuzuki, etc. To this combinations are attached. I felt that Uke Waza should be combined with counterattacks as Kihon, so that the students can feel the connection during Kihon Geiko. The body learns to counter together with the block.
