Yamaguchi Sensei 7th Dan JKS Ireland Technical Seminar

It’s always great when Yamaguchi Sensei visits as we are guaranteed some great traditional karate training not at all affected by modern day competition. So no matter what age or physical fitness we all have something to study. 

With kumite technique & tai sabaki covered we also went over 2 advanced black belt kata. Gojushiho Sho & Dai.  

A great 4 hours karate. Just as he does in Japan Yamaguchi Sensei never fails to educate in a very inspiring way. 

 

Well done to those who traveled from Limerick Shojinkai. It’s experiences like these that add up over the years and make everything we do on a weekly basis make sense to us.
