Congratulations to Ella Zrinzo, Rahul Gadhaus and Joshua Tucker on achieving your Black belts! Great standard of grading, fantastic effort and welcome to our Black belt family!
Some of our students were fortunate to be able to attend a training course recently, with the French, multi-world champion, Christophe Pinna. The course was held in beautiful Senigallia, in the Marche region of Italy. The course was re-instated this year and It was a wonderful opportunity to meet up with old friends from all around the world and to meet new ones too! Our Students enjoyed a fun, informative new experience and learned some exciting new kumite techniques and strategies to take home and work on.
Another successful summer course took place 19-22nd August, with over 70 students attending at St Johns Church hall in Buckhurst Hill.
Our latest Kata course Performance for Competition took place in Buckhurst Hill on 13th October. Working on Kata performance, which is useful for both competitions and gradings, those who attended worked on characteristics of a great kata such as strength, speed and timing along with techniques to improve mental strength under pressure. We also covered how to learn and practise more effectively, and how music can be used when practising. This is the latest Kata course with Sensei Tom. Past courses have included Hard & Soft in Kata and The Meaning of Kata (Bunkai) .
