Hojo Undo

“Hojo Undo” or “traditional training” is the traditional strength training of Goju-Ryu. Tools are used in such a way that they provide maximal support for the body in order to practice karate. Hojo undo contributes to the building of strength, but can also improve stamina, speed and focus when practiced frequently. Sensei Higaonna emphasises that to achieve real results, hojo undo should be practiced on a regular basis. Click here for more information.

Integral Warrior Workout/Hojo Undo			by
Tue	19:00-20:00	Integral Warrior Workout	Sydney Leijenhorst
Thu	18:00-19:00	Integral Warrior Workout	Jan Kroon

Students can make use of the following tools: Chi Ishi (stone hammer), Kongoken (rectangular metal ring), Nigiri Game (grabbing vases), Makiwara (punching board), Ishisashi (metal handles), Sashi-Ishi (stones), Tetsu Geta (iron sandals), Makiage Kigu (wrist-roller). We make sure that all tools are available for good use. Depending on everyone’s wishes, trainings can be held collectively or individually, but there will always be karatekas present to explain or carry out exercises. We hope that hojo-undo Thursday will bring even more joy and “gezelligheid” to KenKon. To finish with a quote from the legendary JFK:

If we are strong, our strength will speak for itself. If we are weak, words will be of no help.

Kind regards and see you soon,

Jan

Message for the practitioners of Tibetan meditation & yoga @ KenKon, Integral Life and Training Centre and potential guests for the TY session tomorrow:

Dear all,

Unfortunately there is no Tibetan Yoga class tomorrow, September 6. The traffic from here to Hamburg seems more challenging than I was used to. And I have to teach karate from Friday early evening to Sunday afternoon. Therefor I need to leave before 10 h. I realized this too late and was not able to find a replacement for my me in time. My apologies.

If you had any friends that planned to come – alone or with you – please let them know that there is no session, but that they are welcome next Friday.

I look forward to see you again next week at the meditation or yoga classes. Let’s make it a wonderful year!

Warm regards,

Sydney
