On Sunday the 11th of November 2018 I will be returning to Unit 1 in Chesterfield! This time we are going to look at karate trapping skills! Trapping is the control of the enemy’s limbs, such that they are open to your strikes while unable to deliver their own. These methods are widespread throughout the kata but are frequently overlooked and misunderstood.
On Sunday 18th of November 2018 I will be teaching a seminar in Blairgowrie, Scotland! At this seminar we will cover the core concepts of practical karate that apply to all karateka; irrespective of style. To look at these concepts we will compare and contrast the five Pinan/Heian kata (created by Anko Itosu to be a summary of the Shuri-te line) with the two Gekisai kata (created by Chojun Miyagi to be a to be a summary of the Naha-te line). This will be a great opportunity to learn something new and to increase your understanding of the already familiar.
On the 25th of November 2018, Iain Abernethy and Andi Kidd will be teaching a joint seminar in Swindon!

On the 16th December 2018 I will be teaching an open seminar in Northampton! The theme will be “The universal karate principles of Passai / Bassai-Dai.” We will be looking at the bunkai of this important kata and beyond to the core combative principles that can be found in all kata and all styles of karate. Prior knowledge of the kata is therefore not necessary as the principles are universal. This course will be extremely useful for all those wanting to understand the true nature of kata and its relevance to real-world self-protection.
