An excellent time at the JMAC course today. Looking at shuto stance with Sensei Peter Hill, jukuren with Sensei Arthur Meek, and a variation of Basai kata with Sensei Tomiyama, who also gave us a brief history of karate. A very insightful and interesting afternoon.

We are honoured to have Sensei Arthur Meek 8th Dan Renshi instructing at our club in Birmingham on Thursday 11th September.

An interesting look at “centroids” this morning during training.

The blue is the equilateral triangle. The red lines are where the central points cross over and the yellow line is the “centroid”

In Naihanchi and Seisan stance, the knees should point inwards slightly so your weight is pointing towards the centroid rather than the top of the triangle.

So when moving forwards, move your weight towards the centroid and this will help you move more naturally and keep a good stance.

An interesting and insightful course by Sensei Roger Vickerman today, looking at torsion and how to use it to move more effectively and improve our techniques.

Thank you to all who attended. Lots to go away and think about!

An enjoyable and insightful JMAC course from Sensei K. Tomiyama, Sensei Arthur Meek and Sensei Peter Hill.
