I am often asked what to study at home.\u00a0 When this question is posed, I often stick to the safe stand-by’s san shin, the koshi sanpo and ukemi.\u00a0 These are good things to practise, but I have some advice which has helped my practise over the past year.<\/p>\n
As I have discussed before in writing and conversations, the kata of the Bujinkan are difficult to train on your own.\u00a0 The majority of the kata rely on facing an opponent.\u00a0 You receive an attack respond to the attack and end up folding your opponent into a pretzel to finish them.\u00a0 How can you possibly practise that by yourself?\u00a0 The answer is visualization.<\/p>\n
Using your visualization, you can create an opponent based on your experience.\u00a0 With this opponent in mind it becomes possible to train your technique effectively even at home.\u00a0 I challenge you to give it a try, you will be pleased with the results.<\/p>\n
Your life is on the line, practise well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
