We warmed up with the kihon happo flow drill. I began class with 拡倒 shitō, 捉倒 shitō, or even 指倒 shitō. I have seen all three kanji for this kata. They each give a slightly different meaning. The first can be found in the English section of Hatsumi Sensei’s “Unarmed Fighting Techniques of the Samurai”…
