Seminar in Sidcup, Kent!

On Sunday 21st January 2024 I will be teaching an open seminar in Sidcup, Kent! The theme of the seminar will be the Tekki / Naihanchi series! We will look at the methods of the first kata and how they are expanded upon and developed in the Nidan and Sandan versions. The original kata Naihanchi / Tekki Shodan was brought into karate by Sokon Matsumura. The Nidan and Sandan versions were developed by his student Anko Itosu (also the originator of the Pinan / Heian series of kata). Not all styles practise all three versions and no prior knowledge of the kata is needed.
