Training with the bo

Today I did 2 hrs bo training doing techniques like the figure 8, two handed and one handed. And to do stainary spin. Also some wrist spin drills. Practicing the figure 8 is tiring my arms ache from practicing. I am doing a documentry on my bo training. I will be posting videos on my progress over the weeks,months eventually years.

Learning the bo

So I started learning the bo on thursday, lets just say I'm not good at all. Its going to take alot of practice and hard work. I can't even do the one hand wrist spin, or the figure of 8 or any spins lol.Its complicated for me,I am 25, if I 10 Id probably learn it quicker. I should do a documentry of my bo learning that be cool. Yeah see my progress through the weeks/months/years.

The bo

I will soon be learning the bo after the holidays. I been wanting to learn the bo for many months. I know its going to be hard, but its worth it. Once I know the bo enough, I would like to do other weapons like the sword. One step at a time though.

 This is me accepting my award from my sensei for most improved fighter 2012.
 

Karate Presentation 2012

My club had our annul Karate Presentation on 15th December. I was surprised when I won most improved fighter of 2012. I am really happy I won a trophy. This coming year I am going to work twice as hard, and hopefully get to go to more lessons. I will be learning the bo soon. I want to learn free style first, then I want to learn traditional bo and learn bo katas. Eventually I will learn other weapons but for the momment I will focus on just the bo.

 

I have gained my blue belt at the end of September, I been working hard towards my next belt. I am currently learning a new kata, Pinan Yondan. I'm finidng it a bit difficult, but Im sure I will learn it in no time. I currently know Pinan Nidan, Pinan Shodan, Pinan Sandan. I think by spring I should know Pinan Yondan. I am still having problems with my shin injury I got in June's inhouse competition. It keeps swelling up, so I got an x-ray done this monday just gone. Will find out the results in a couple weeks. Im hoping to find nothing wrong, but yet hoping to find out why it keeps swelling up. 

I was graded last night for my blue belt. Yes after nearly 8 months of hard training I finally got my blue belt. I am so happy.Now its going to get even more harder. 

27th September 2012 Graded to Blue belt.

 This is the Robin Hood Demo at southend, 8th July.

I would love to learn the bo, I always had a interest in it. I just need to find a good bo for beginners that isn't going to cost so much money. I know my club does weapans training so maybe it wouldn't hurt to buy a bo an start to learn it. It be good achievement under my belt if I did learn it. Now i just gotta figure out which type of bo I should start on....
