On Wednesday, July 11, 2007 Grand Master Stephen Capela taught his monthly black belt class. The focus of this class was the Goshin Jutsu kata Ugoko Ni Roko Ho and its practical applications. Master Capela began the class reviewing the finer points of the kata and their applications, after a brief break Mr. Capela then taught goshin waza based on the movements in the kata.

The class was well attended and everyone was able to take away a deeper understanding of Ugoko Ni Roko Ho and its practical application. If you have not attended one of Mr. Capela's classes you should make a point to take advantage of this great opportunity to learn from Goshin Jutsu's greatest resources.

Grand Master Capela opened the clinic by working on ki breathing and applying it to giving and receiving strikes. He then explained weight transfer when stepping in and out of stances. He then moved on to refining the kicking techniques for front and side kicks with an emphasis on speed and accuracy. After a lunch break Grand Master Capela finished the clinic with a wide variety of goshin waza.
