A
practice at the club consists of stretching and warmups to start,
followed by basic footwork and strikes. After this, the group will split
into advanced (those wearing bogu) and beginner (non-bogu players) group
practices. Beginners will practice the basic strikes and
footwork both on their own and with partners (motodachi) who will provide
the targets for them.Advanced players will practice basic
strikes and footwork, then move on to more advanced strikes and waza (techniques).
There will also be a period of keiko (free sparring) for advanced players.
