It was a real privilege for the club to host Daisuke Watanabe Sensei for an outstanding evening of training and learning.
Firstly, a huge thank you to everyone who supported the event. The turnout, attitude, effort, and enthusiasm shown throughout the evening were outstanding. We are incredibly proud of how everyone conducted themselves and the positive atmosphere they helped create. It was fantastic to see karateka of all ages and grades training together, working hard, and making the most of the opportunity to learn from one of the worlds most experienced kumite instructors.
We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to our friends from JKS Cumberland and David Kindler Sensei for making the journey and collaborating on the event. Your continued friendship and support are greatly appreciated.
Thank you also to JKS Scotland for facilitating the seminar and helping make the event possible.
Thank you to Daisuke Watanabe Sensei for sharing his knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm with us all. The quality of instruction throughout both sessions was exceptional, and we are sure everyone left with plenty to think about and work on in their future training.
Thank you again to everyone who attended and supported the seminar. Events like these are only possible because of the commitment and support of our members, families, and the wider karate community.
