Note from Sensei

This month’s seminar is on “Improving your life”. The seminar will be setting goals in all areas of your life. It is said that if you do not set goals for your self, then you will be following the goals set by others.

Each month I will be giving seminars for those who are interested. Remember, karate is about the unification of the mind, body and spirit. We must exercise our mind just like we do basics, katas, and exercises for our body. For the spirit part, this is our will power to move on and never give up. It is important that we seize all opportunities when they present themselves for I may not be offering this seminar until about 3 to 5 years down the road as I see fit when the students is ready for this type of material. Next month’s seminar will be on Goju katas and the history of Goju.

What we see depends mainly what we look for

Tips

Do not sacrifice technique for power. Always perform a kata slowly fixing all blocks, stances, punches etc., then do it hard and fast.

12 hour seminar

This seminar was awesome for those who attended it. The morning started off with Tai Chi and Chi Kung with Sensei Errol and Sifu Roy, then we were treated to two new Shotokan katas taught by Mr Yip-Choy. The next session was a new Bo Kata taught by Sensei Kevin and finally the “secret” was revealed to those who were in attendance. You had to be there. Hope everyone is applying the secret.
