So, I've been trying to focus on the karate kata, Naihanchi this month. It's not like I think I'm some sort of expert or anything, but Naihanchi is so amazingly complex and rich in content that I figured I could skim a topic per day to talk about. But that has turned out to be problematic. Like drinking from a fire hydrant, Naihanchi has so much awesomeness that I'm having a hard time pulling out discreet nuggets to talk about. Maybe I should have done a month of posts on 2-3 techniques from naihanchi... (and of course I'm only talking about naihanchi #1 - I could probably write a year's worth of posts on naihanchi #1, 2, and 3)

I'd thought to do some video clips using my android (my digital videorecorder is defunct - my kids are masters of destroying or losing the associated wires and cords). But havent gotten around to that. I think some video would help me to convey the ideas though, so I'll keep trying to find the time and the partners I need to put some of my very limited knowledge on video clips.

Ok, now I'm done with my whining rant. Back to actual naihanchi content!
