Some smashing stuff from the group this week. Lots of improvement on the pads!

Some nervous responses to dealing with windmilling in the body armour on Monday so the kit came out again on Thursday.

Really pleased with everyone!

Small classes this week due to school exams! But big energy!

A good mix of stand up and ground covered!

Working on 'behind the scenes' stuff on the new website, writing page meta descriptions.

On Maxim's page I tried to write "Maxim has been training..." 💪

Predictive text wrote "Maxim has been traumatised..." 😱

Maxim said, "Well, to be fair..."

World Class Self Defence focused Karate in High Wycombe using modern and traditional training methods taught by a professional internationally respected coach.

Solid work on Sunday in a focused session for 2 kyu, 1 kyu, 1 Dan and 2 Dan students.

Having footage from class allowed the construction of a reflective coaching session tailored to little things observed in sparring, pad work and forms.

Footage taken in this class and shared with them for their own reflection.

Lots to unpick amongst the smashing energy in Thursday's class!

The theme was positioning. Exercises to show up lack of lower body support for upper body techniques and their requirement for mobility in stand up, complete with exercises to illustrate the need to close down mobility on the ground.

Verbal and written feedback given with video footage sent to participants.

We'll be returning to this theme!

Brilliant classes this week!

A real step up for a lot of the students. Very impressed. Great RGS class from Guillaume and Julian.

On Thursday we said goodbye to Bex as she heads back to New Zealand. It's been great to share our way of training with her while she has been here. We wish her all the best!

A very small Monday class!

Great energy throughout the 90 minutes. A test of upper body and core strength in a warm up race for the DART students. Nice wall work, then a Tekki focus on some short disorientating combos.
