Naihanchi Combatives seminar in Halifax - 24/06/2012 - 1100 - 1400

Please note that attendees should bring their own bag and focus mitts, where possible. If anyone is unable to bring their own we will lend you some, but please let us know beforehand if this is the case.

The seminar costs £10 per person. No deposit is required, but please contact us ahead of time.

Finally, although knowledge of Naihanchi/Tekki Shodan would be helpful it's not absolutely necessary as the principles and applications to be taught are easily transferable to other forms.

I would seriously love to be there but we have an " inter- club" against a Muay Thai Gym to compete in.

Hi all.

I thought I should give a brief outline of how I intend to plan the session.

I view the primary applications from any Kata as percussive/ impactive techniques and this will be the main focus of the seminar, impact drills taken directly from Naihanchi (in tandem with more standard partner Bunkai).

Equipment needed will be bag mitts, sparring mitts(the well padded type) and focus pads if you have them.

I view Kata and its applications as relevant should the opportunity for pre-emption be lost, or the opponent gaining the initiative, the drills will reflect this, as will the drills to clear obstruction.

Factor in some drills to create fatigue to reflect some of the affects of adrenalin and it should be a fun session.

All the best,

Mark
