Description
- In taiko, uchikomi (打ち込み) is a fundamental, repetitive training method used to develop proper form, power, precision, and a strong, resonant sound. The term comes from the verb utsu, meaning “to strike” or “to beat,” reflecting the practice’s emphasis on disciplined, continuous playing.
- The goal is for the body to internalize efficient technique - prioritizing form over power, while building strength, stamina, and endurance.
- Class will include various timed drills and a long, non-stop uchikomi circuit!
