Recommend everyone to learn this kata and explore its various applications. It was a fantastic experience teaching it and seeing the enthusiasm and progress of the students.
In other news, Sensei Velibor Dimitrijevic recently held a two-day training session in Tewkesbury, which I had the privilege to attend. It was an incredible opportunity to learn from such a skilled and experienced sensei. The training was intense and challenging, but also highly rewarding. I gained a deeper understanding of the techniques and principles of Shotokan Karate and left with valuable insights to apply in my own practise.
Additionally, I had the pleasure of attending a seminar by Sensei Iain Abernethy, a 7th Dan karateka. The seminar focused on the concept of “The easiest and hardest kata to learn,” as quoted by Itosu. It was a thought-provoking and enlightening session that emphasised the importance of a well-rounded karate practise, incorporating both physical techniques and mental understanding.
