I added notation to this old clip of Taika Oyata performing Exercise One to help you study and memorize the drill. Exercise One should be drilled regularly and repeatedly. Enjoy and train!
It’s easy to overlook. This drill executes 220 blocks/strikes and takes about 5 minutes to complete. Doing it 5 times takes nearly half an hour and if you are doing it right will give you a great workout and is one of the best ways to strengthen your ukes and tsukis.
