Sensei Tsukada Course Report

We had another successful Course with Sensei Tsukada on October 30th – November 1st. The Friday session was focused on the finer points and breaking down of punching technique. The Saturday session followed on from Friday and worked on effective block/deflection and counterpunching. This was followed up by a re-cap of Naifanchin Shodan that was covered on Sensei Tsukada’s last GB course held at Sensei George Payne’s dojo in Edinburgh last June.  After the Friday and Saturday sessions held at the Samurai Centre, Kidderminster, the Sunday Session was hosted by Sensei Stuart Hughes in Bromsgrove. This session started with more work on punching technique and counterpunching pairwork. The second part of the session covered kata Kururunfa and bunkai. I think everyone enjoyed the course and found it rewarding and informative. It is also a great social weekend. Many of us went for a drink after training and went for a meal on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings. Thanks to everyone who came along and supported the course and a very big thank you to Sensei for coming over to England again and giving us such a great weekend.
