Over the last few months we have had people from Germany, UK, USA and Switzerland achieve instructor status! These are all experienced martial artists who have their own well established and effective approaches. The instructor programs I run are not about getting people to do exactly as I do, but to acknowledge that those who participate understand my general approach, and are people that I would recommend to others wanting to understand the workings of kata in combat. They are all good people who have worked hard, studied deeply, and who really know their stuff!
USA BUNKAI INSTRUCTOR COURSE: I’m thinking of holding an introductory Instructors Course in the USA next year if the interest is there. We need a minimum of 14 and there will be a maximum of 18 places. The plan is to tie it in with a seminar in Texas in January 2016 (to keep costs down).
It is now possible to book your place on the first Iain Abernethy Introductory Instructors Course in Germany!
Message from John: I’m opening a new Shotokan Karate club at Sprinters Leisure Centre and Gym in Prestwood Buckinghamshire. This is a good venue with a mirrored studio, large car park and changing facilities.
