Winter Gashuku - March 2011

 

We begin the day at 7.30 with an early morning walk on the Winterton On Sea Nature reserve ...

Great Yarmouth dojo with sensei Kevin Leigh 5th dan, Colin Needham 5th dan, Ivor Garner 5th dan and Anne Hastings 6th dan

The class was first split into seven groups, with the senseis taking turns with each group.

This year the senior instructors concentrated on bunkai for Bassai-dai, Enpi and Tekki shodan.

Plenty of throwing techniques and put-downs
