Shorinjiryu Koshinkai Qld Training Clinic

Sunday 7th Dec 2014 - members from Kazoku Dojo in Murgon, Shishikan Dojo in Brisbane and from the local Seiryukan dojo on Bribie Island, attended the last Qld Shorinjiryu Koshinkai Karate training clinic for 2014.

The day started off with Tasshi Tony taking the group through kata Nijushiho, focusing on the individual movements and technical aspects of the kata. Everyone got the chance to demonstrate the kata, especially those grading. The lesson finished up with Sensei Leanne showing us her technical skill as she performed the kata for the cameras.

Kyoshi Jim and Tasshi Tony then took everyone through Gokyo no Kumite, concentrating on the Five (5) Te Waza's, Dai Ikkyo - Nikyo - Sankyo - Yonkyo and Gokyo. Again, individual movements and explanations were the main focus here including pressure points which Kyoshi “happily" demonstrated on Tasshi Tony.

Kyoshi Jim finished the days training leading the group through one of his favourite kata's, Sanchin. Time was spent understanding the moves, paying particular attention to Ashi Sabaki (footwork) of the kata. A very interesting lesson.

Throughout the day, students got the chance to "volunteer" and demonstrate what they learnt in the lessons in front of Kyoshi Jim, Shihan Lesley and Tasshi Tony.

The day finished off with a Mudansha grading with Teagan Divljak and Annabelle Dennien from the Kazoku Dojo being promoted to 1st Kyu and Naomi DeLacy from the Shishikan Dojo being promoted to 7th Kyu. Congratulations also goes to Mickey Shi from the Shishikan Dojo who had earlier been promoted to 8th Kyu.

A great days training enjoyed by all, finishing off a great year in our Shorinjiryu Koshinkai family.

We wish to thank all the students for their enthusiastic efforts during 2014. You make it all worth while. A thank you to the Instructors as well, for working tirelessly, keeping up with your learning, teaching your students and supporting the organisation.
