As there was only three of us tonight in the dojo we did some test prep.
And as a throwback Tuesday treat, I introduced Brandi and Lee to Bo kata Shodan no kon.
Fun!

Coming September 12, Sensei Chuck Kerrigan, 7th dan.
Sensei Kerrigan has decades of experience in karate, not just shotokan.
Looking forward to hosting him!

As a reminder, our dojo is fairly small and as such participants will be limited to 20 in each session.
As it fills up, I will post how many spaces remain.

Starting August 1st, all 3rd kyu and above must come up with a lesson plan that covers kihon, kata and bunkai and be prepared to run a class using this.
All future gradings will include these principles and applications and candidates will need to prepare accordingly.

Really good seminar this morning with sensei Johnson.
Did lots of application work using pressure and nerve points and how they relate to kata.
Think everyone really enjoyed themselves.
