CHAPTER 7 Heian Godan
【 CONTENTS 】Notes on Heian Godan
【GEN Spotlight】
Now it's time to get into the specifics of Kata.
This time, we will focus on Heian Godan.
To receive the opponent's first attack quickly and strongly, have a feeling of sinking your body and block while being conscious of your lower Tanden.
After striking to the front, when you are going to make a Gedan Barai behind yourself, do not turn with your arms out wide.
Instead, rotate your body while bringing your arms in close to the center of your body.
And then execute the technique in a large motion.
