Gyaku Waza Workshop a Success!
On Saturday, September 19, 2026, we held a workshop focused on Gyaku Waza (逆技, reversing techniques). We explored how manipulating timing, distance, and angle can disrupt an opponent's technique as it's being applied to you, and we worked through a range of training drills, phases, and processes along the way. Shu Ha Ri, Shin Gi Tai, Kyojitsu, Muto Dori…all provide us the template. The common thread in all of it? Having solid kihon. At the end of the day, it's all taijutsu. Thank you senior members who showed techniques, and to everyone who came out and trained with us. (One junior student practices excellent gyaku waza…and reversed himself out of the picture! Sneaky ninja…) Bufu Ikkan!
