Sensei Yamazaki provided us with yet another inspiring seminar in September. As well basic techniques and correct attitude, the all grades course focused on stringing techniques together, enabling karateka to flow from one technique to another; a valuable lesson for all of us.
Sensei's teachings are valued by karateka from many other affiliations and it's always good to meet up with people from other clubs and exchange ideas on how we run our clubs etc.
Two of Meiyo karate Club's junior members caught Sensei Yamazaki's attention and were brought to the front to demonstrate some techniques to other members of the class - Well done Saul and Hannah!
It's important to remember the route you took in the development of your Karate - although a personal journey, the influences of your Senseis will have made their mark upon you. This is why we try to provide images of your development so that when you go on to become a Dan grade or a teacher yourself, you'll have a pictorial history of your own development and will remember people like Yamazaki Sensei and Oliver Sensei and the parts that they play, and will continue to play, in the development of our Karate.
Congratulations to Kristyana for being this month's winner. She works hard at her Karate and clearly gives 100% commitment to her training. Keep up the good work!
We currently have vacancies for both adults and children. If you'd like to pop in and try a free lesson, please get in touch. Just wear some loose fitting track suit bottoms and a full necked T-shirt and come in to one of the sessions. Full details of our training times are on www.meiyo.org.uk.
I hope to see you at the dojo soon.
