About this event

WEEKEND KEIKO

Details

What to expect:

—30min warm up, including Shiko, stretching. —30min strength training, including Suriashi drills, Butsukari drills, etc. —20min technique "move-of-the-day" aka situationals. —30min full matches. —10min clean up and reset out of respect for the dojo.

*if you are late and you did not stretch, expect to do 100 shiko before matches are allowed. Keiko is a privilege of learning, let's treat it as such. Not properly stretching can cause injury which shortens your learning.

What you will need:

— Please bring Mawashi if you own one. I will do my best to have a basic mawashi for you to practice. But if you have a thick canvas that is 18inches wide and a minimum of 18feet long (I am a 34waist light weight, mine is 18'. Heavyweights are probably 24') — Wear biker shorts...or not if you brought your own mawashi — Please bring a Towel...this is more for the curtesy of the other person (gross). — An open mind and an open heart...check the ego at the door. Sumo is any Person's game; big, strong, small, tall. We learn together, we grow together. Everyone has good days, and learning days.
