Welcome to lesson 3 of the 10 lesson Hasegawa Eishin Ryu Expanded series. In this lesson Inazuma, is presented from a modified crouching position, (la goshi) instead of the tate hiza with numerous variations and applications, along with a unique method of applying the kata from standing.

Over the years, I have seen students, and yes, even Instructors stop practicing laido because they no longer could perform tate-hiza Kata. This may have been due to injuries or just plain getting older.

This video is meant to remedy that situation and help everyone get back to practicing this beautiful and essential style while at the same time expanding their understanding and the functionality of the style.
