Should be a good session! The karateka will see much in the second video that is Naihanchi-esque too.

All the best,

Iain

PS The background music to the 2nd video is “Symphony of Destruction” for those who find it also has their subconscious searching twenty years of music history in an involuntary game of name that tune! I got there in the end! :-)

You're right about the 2nd clip Iain, very Naihanchi. Those who attended my Naihanchi seminar might remember and recognise the shoulder blasts , which is the reason I give for the head turns at the beginning of the kata. I thought that was a very good clip

Thanks for taking the time to read and comment on this. This should be a great class, every time I've trained with Michael I've been able to link sections of what he teaches into various Kata motions.  It;s no surprise that different arts or teachers have similar methods for dealing with conflict, and I think having an open mind help brings these things together.
