Southeast Knockdown Training

 

On Saturday December 5, WYKKO of Oxford hosted the last Southeast Knockdown training of 2015. We had fighters from Yoshukai, Shidokan, Mushindo, and Deans Martial Arts. 

 

 

 

 

Fighters came from Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Pennsylvania. This was a great day of knockdown training and fellowship between several different styles. Ego's were left at the door and everyone had a great attitude and work ethic throughout the entire 3 hours training session.

 

 

 

Kelly Leo from Shidokan North, GA led the first hour of training focusing on using angles and cut kicks. I want to express my gratitude to Mr. Leo for taking a day out of his busy schedule to come and work with us. The 2nd hour focused on pad work specific to knockdown karate competition. 

 

 

 

The final hour consisted of 13 x 2 minute sparring rounds. Everyone enjoyed the training and we are looking forward to holding 4 of these workouts in different locations throughout 2016.

September Southeast Knockdown Workout

Osu!

On Saturday September 19, WYKKO in Oxford hosted a Southeast knockdown workout open to all styles and organizations. We had participants from Oxford, Jacksonville, Talladega, Birmingham, Atlanta, and Dothan WYKKO schools. We also had a gentleman from Albertville, AL join us this time.

The workout lasted from 10am to noon. During the first hour, we worked body and leg conditioning, blocking and countering drills for low kicks, as well as pad work for low kicks and punch/low kick combinations. We then sparred for around 45 minutes and used the last 15 minutes for stretching.

A great time was had by all and we are looking at holding another workout on December 5 in Oxford, AL. Hoping to get more participation from WYKKO schools for the next one and am also hoping to get some more support from the other area schools who participate in knockdown sparring competitions.
