Saito's Jo Suburi #7

Art Ward demonstrating.

Continuous front strikes

Begin in right hanmi and do shomen uchikomi. Now shift your weight to your right foot, raise the jo, step forward across the line-of-attack with your left (rear) foot. Turn your hips and move your right foot so that you are now in left hamni on the left side of the line-of-attack. Complete the suburi with a shomen stike.

Tips:

• Both strikes should be genuine strikes.
• You will cross the line-of-attack three time: first when stepping back, second when making the first shomen strike and third when making the last shomen strike.
