Just returned from Czech Republic seminar, it was a great, with
100 participants from Germany, Ukraine, Russia Poland and of course Czech
Republic.
Spirit was great, the atmosphere and friendships even
greater.
Vladimir Pucha and his team from Ukraine drove 15 hours non-stop
and than step into training, I really appreciate this spirit.
We spent a lot of time going through details of kata
Hangetsu, Kanku Dai and kata Kitei (which was composed by sensei Nishiyama for
competition).
Once we went through the precise form of each kata, we went
on using the kata as a vehicle to understand and internalize principles of technique
and application, which are contracted within the kata.
We spent a lot of hours practicing Shikake Waza (strategy),
with many variations of Sasoi Waza (invite) and combinations including timing
and distance.
The level was obviously higher than last year, the enthusiasm
even higher, Nishiyama karate is going from strength to strength.
I landed in LA slept for an hour and a half and went to dojo
to teach; now I need some rest.
Thank you guys for the hard work.
