Karate Bunkai Course: Practical Shotokan, Beginner To Black Belt
My Sensei, Paul Mitchell, 4th Dan will be hosting a special Karate bunkai course looking at the principles & techniques of Shotokan Karate and applying them to realistic self defense. Along with the more obvious punches and kicks, this will include locks throws and takedowns utilizing moves from both basics and kata.
The course is open to all Karateka regardless of grade - Beginner to Black belt. However, there is a minimum age of 12 for anybody under 4th Kyu.
Japanese Earthquake and Tsunami
Many of us of will have been saddened to hear the recent news of the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Many of us will have a special interest and affection for Japan as the homeland of the martial art we practice. As such it is nice to see some people trying to give back to the country which has given us so much, a martial art, a way of life, and sometimes a whole new perspective and philosophy.
Chuck Philips of the International Martial Arts Management Systems has come up with an idea that any martial arts teacher can use to both help the appeal and also raise awareness of his/her own club at the same time.
To find out more and maybe take part in helping this worthy appeal, please visit Chuck's site at http://members.imams.com/non-member/imams-japan-relief-effort
