Sandan Grading Prep
Sandan is often where “athlete only” habits fail. Show that you can create openings without rushing, and that your reiho still leads.
Training emphasis
Long uchikomi with honest fatigue, kata under fatigue, and mentoring juniors in class when asked.
Practice takeaway
After reading, write one question for your sensei and one habit to try at the next keiko. Clarity without practice does not stick.
Hong Kong context
Urban venues, humid summers, and multilingual clubs shape local practice. Ask about schedule and language of instruction when you visit.
