Hey team! I just came back from my trip in Hawaii yesterday, and I am happy to share some of the things I have done there. I'm sorry I couldn't blog before, but the WiFi wasn't working well or wasn't free there. Let the stories begin!
When I first walked into the place I trained at, Kajukenbo, I was amazed. It looked like a gym, had 2 bathrooms on one side, along with a fountain, and on the other end was this massive stage to put your gear. For practicing, I was put in the back with the white belts. I noticed some things that were different compared to Aim High right off the bat. First of all, they don't sound off. The second thing I noticed is that their Ready Position for forms are different, and they call their forms their Kata. They have black squares on the floor to tell the students where and how to line up. Before class started, the head teacher, Sifu Erica, introduced me to the class. Apparentley, they have students come from the Mainland to train at their school all the time! After that, we did warm ups and then forms. During forms, I learned Kata #1, their first form. (It took a lot of practice afterwards, but I eventually got it). At the end of class, we bowed to the picture of the founder (passed away), bowed to the instructors, and bowed to the other students. Kajukenbo is awesome!
