Term 2 starts next week.

Wednesday 10-11 Ipswich
Thursday 4:30-5:30 Harrisville

Saturday class will resume in week 2.

There will be no Saturday class in week 1 due to Girl Guides event in the hall.

New training video for you focusing on Pinan Shodan kata. Kata is an important aspect of karate and requires constant attention. Those who want to advance will need to work on this more. I recommend taking a video of your kata practice so you can watch it to see where you can improve. I always find things to work on myself. Another good way to practice is to teach someone else. In doing so you will gain a better understanding of the movements yourself.

For those who would like to dive deeper into karate, here are my three favourite YouTube channels for karate content. They all have Facebook and Instagram accounts too. Take a look for some inspiration.

Kuro-Obi World
In Japanese but most videos have subtitles. Features various topics and comparisons with other martial arts.

Jesse Enkamp AKA The Karate Nerd. Some great videos on the history of karate here as well as practical training.

Iain Abernethy – Practical Kata Bunkai.
Bunkai refers to the practical application of kata techniques for self-defence.
