We had another very successful course this year with Sensei Ryozo Tsukada on October 13th – 15th. The Friday session was a technical session breaking down punching. It made even the highest grade go back to basics and assess their technique. After the session 16 of us went for a curry. The Saturday session mainly covered kata Shisochin and bunkai. We all met up in the evening for a Chinese meal. The Sunday session went into Shisochin bunkai in greater detail and re-capped on the kata. Thanks for sensei Stuart Hughes for hosting the Sunday session at his Forge Shotokan Dojo in Bromsgrove. The course was well attended including a contingent who travelled down from Scotland.  Finally, a very big thank you to Sensei Tsukada for another very enjoyable and informative course.

The GSKA held a fantastic training course and grading with Sensei Calvin Collins (6th Dan) this weekend. Students were taken through Tsuki Waza and katas Tensho and Sanchin, with particular emphasis on proper breathing technique, and advanced kata Kururunfa, All students taking a grading exam were successful and Andy Mauger gained his Sandan Black Belt (3rd Dan) with some very tough kumite included!

Unfortunately, the course on Sunday  17th September has had to be cancelled. The meeting due to be held on the same day will now be held on Sunday 1st October at the Samurai Centre, Kidderminster, commencing at 10.00am.
