Due to work related commitments, Koshinkai were unable to hold a National Black Belt (BB) training camp for 2014. So as to not miss out, Qld held it’s own BB camp with NSW/VIC holding theirs at a later date.
Black and Brown belt members from Seiryukan, Shishikan, Kensuikan and Kazoku dojos in Qld, converged on Bribie Island Saturday 13th Sept. Instruction over the weekend by Kyoshi Jim, Shihan Lesley and Tasshi Tony covered Kata, Yakusoku Kumite, Bukiho, Kansetsu waza and Shime waza.
Training commenced with Kyoshi Jim taking the group through Sanchin Waza assisted by Sensei Dee followed by Kyoshi working everyone through Sanchin kata.
Kyoshi Jim with Tasshi Tony then took everyone through the A-Z of Pain (Renzoku Kansetsu Waza) with roles reversed as Tasshi Tony then followed with a session on strangulation (Renzoku Shime waza)
Kyoshi Jim and Shihan Lesley continued instruction with Randori Ni and finishing the day, Kyoshi Jim and Tasshi Tony took the group through Sai Bo Randori.
A full day of training incorporating demonstrations on all lessons, saw the group head away tired but happy for a great meal at a local restaurant.
Sunday mornings training started on beautiful Banksia Beach with Tasshi Tony taking the group through Shishiryu no Bo. Kyoshi Jim then followed with a Kumite lesson on the Sankakutobi Sandan series.
Moving back to the training hall, the group moved into Sankakutobi kata lead by Shihan Lesley and the mornings training finishing with Kyoshi Jim taking everyone through Gokyo no Ken.
The day finished with a kyu grading that saw Leisa Dunmore from Seiryukan Dojo grading to 1st Kyu and Terry Allen from Shishikan Dojo grading to 2nd Kyu. Both students acquitted themselves extremely well deserving their promotions.
It was a great weekend of learning and re-learning. Everyone came to train hard and learn all was the enthusiasm and focus of the students on the day and that makes it all worthwhile.
