It was a Chilly November night but eight hardy Shuri-te members braved the cold to attend the monthly all member workout. This months workout was held at Oak Haven Church in Ham Lake.
The only preset agenda item was to review Pinan Nidan.
Barton Bares lead the group in performing Nihanchi Shodan twice, then Barton performed the kata for the group to critique.
We followed this pattern with Mike Fraser performing Pinan Nidan; Jerry Casey performing Passai Di; Steve Groppoli performing Kusan Kusho and finally Al Asmus bringing us back to Pinan Nidan.
Al then lead the group in practicing some of the obvious techniques from Pinan Nidan.
A good time was had by all and shortly after 8pm the group adjourned to the local pizza parlor for beer and snacks.
