My trip to Black Belt at 50... and beyond!


My life took a funny turn four years ago...into a dojo! I took my son to karate and found that I didn't like being a spectator. I'm now wearing a black belt. I'm at Steve Lavallees Karate School, Ft Lauderdale NTC dojo. I started this blog to help remember my kata (they're on video, look down the left column). I also share my thoughts on the dojo and beyond. Thanks for visiting, please leave a comment behind. About BBat50.

Eight Count Kicking

Taisha - Position
Class - Position

Taisha - Hands up
Class - Hands up - pull them both up in guard, legs together...

One - Right front kick - tia
Two - Left front kick - tia

Three - right side kick to the right - tia
Four - left side kick to the left - tia

Five - double right roundhouse low, high - tu, tia
Six - double left roundhouse low, high - tu, tia

Seven - heel kick, round house right - tu, tia
Eight - same to the left - tu, tia
Note - a heal cick starts as a side kick but ends with a backwards swing hitting with the heel. The roundhouse follows directly so the leg stays in the air.

Punch both hands down forward into Position,

Wait for taisho,

Then "thank you sir" going into relaxed stance.
