Friday the 27th Feb saw Jay Sensei, assisted by Archie, Matthew and Michael, run a self defence session and introduction to Shotokan Karate with the Dartside Explorers in South Brent.
Basic techniques were shown and tried by the group, along with some self defence break aways and pad work. We also had a discussion around what self defence is and about being proportionate if using self defence and ensuring that the juice is worth the squeeze (a phone, bike or watch is not more valuable than someone’s health and wellbeing)
The group were brilliant and a pleasure to teach. If you have a scout group or youth group and would like an input, please message the page
