\"\u00c5ke-sensei<\/a> During the weekend of the 2nd to 3rd of November, our branch organised a gasshuku<\/em> (training camp) here in Karlstad. We had training on Saturday and Sunday and there were participants from most of the Swedish Shorinji Kemp branches, as well as two participants from Finland.<\/p>\n

The instructors for the weekend was Karlstad Shibu\u2019s own Shibu-ch\u014d<\/em>, Anders Pettersson Daikenshi<\/em> 6 Dan<\/em>, and Karlstads Studenter\u2019s Shibu-ch\u014d<\/em>, \u00c5ke Olsson Seikenshi<\/em> 5 Dan<\/em><\/em>.

The Gasshuku<\/em> started on Saturday morning with a focus on kihon<\/em>. Anders-sensei<\/em> first went through several tan’en h\u014dkei<\/em> (single forms) and their s\u014dtai<\/em> (pair) versions. Then \u00c5ke-sensei<\/em> followed up with practice of applications based on these, with the use of d\u014d<\/em> (torso protectors) and mits.<\/p>\n

After lunch on Saturday, it was time for h\u014dkei<\/em> training. First part was Anders-sensei<\/em> in and we went through some basic h\u014dkei and sorted out the different variations of ura<\/em> and omote<\/em> for various h\u014dkei<\/em>, etc. Then it was divided up into ky\u016bkenshi<\/em> and y\u016bdansha<\/em> (black belts) where Anders-sensei<\/em> and \u00c5ke-sensei<\/em> taught half the time in each group until the day ended.<\/p>\n

That evening we had dinner together and socialised. It’s always nice to talk to friends from various Shorinji Kempo branches.

The Sunday had a focus on embu<\/em> and un’y\u014dh\u014d<\/em> (randori<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Anders-sensei<\/em> showed a number of exercises for how to throw and ukemi<\/em> (break falls) when thrown. Then the focus was on practice a couple of k\u014dsei<\/em> (embu<\/em> sequences) that all kenshi practised and then all had to do demonstrate.<\/p>\n

After lunch the training was on understanding how to apply different h\u014dkei<\/em>, to get an understanding of whether one can use a h\u014dkei<\/em> from zenkutsu dachi<\/em> (weight forward) or from k\u014dkutsu dachi<\/em> (the weight back), etc. Better understanding that makes it easier to establish a strategy (senjutsu s\u014dsei<\/em>) when doing randori<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Then the day finished with a Q&A session where all participating kenshi could ask questions about techniques and then try out these techniques. There was a spread of techniques from basic ky\u016b<\/em> level up to the techniques for 6 dan<\/em>.<\/p>\n

All participants seem to have appreciated the gasshuku<\/em>.<\/p>\n
