Allan Amor seminar in April

Message from Diarmuid Lloyd:

Classical Ryukyu Karate - In Edinburgh 27th/28th April 2013

Following last year's successful seminar, we are pleased to announce another weekend of training with Allan Amor, 7th Dan Ryukyu Kempo.

Allan Amor studied with Oyata Seiyu, 10th Dan master of Okinawan Martial Arts, for over 20 years. He now teaches his interpretation of Ryukyu Kempo in a few locations around the world, from his headquarters dojo in Kansas, USA.

The focus of the weekend of training will be on understanding and developing skill in:

Tuite, the highly-developed grabbing-hand applications of old-way Karate Atemi and Kyusho, warning strikes to the limbs and more serious debilitating strikes The use of Kata in the practice and understanding of old-way life protection methods How sophisticated motions and exercises, vital to developing usable skill, must be extracted from forms and Kata The influences and integration of Okinawan weaponcraft with the use of the hand for life protection methods

You may see a YouTube presentation of Amor-sensei's rare and unusual classical martial art on the web link below.

This weekend of training (Saturday 27th April and Sunday 28th April) is likely to be of deep interest to Karate practitioners who want to explore the origins of their practice, in addition to Taekwondo, Ju-jutsu and other martial art practitioners.

There are no pre-requisites for attending and all adult practitioners of the martial arts are welcome. Places are limited and offered on a first-come-first-served basis.
