Daisuke Ueda Sensei , Instructor of JKA Headquarters in Tokyo Japan, visited the New Orleans Shotokan Academy for the second year in a row. Trainings took place at the NOSA Dojo Wednesday - Friday, and on Saturday February 21st, the Ueda Seminar took place at McGehee School in the garden district of New Orleans. Themes from Ueda Sensei’s instruction included:
•Proper concentration and etiquette
•Correct body posture and alignment
•Attention to the back musculature when executing techniques
•Proper weight distribution and triangular base regarding stance and shoulder position
•Relaxation to achieve optimal ex*****on of technique
•Transfer of body mass into correct application of kime
Ueda Sensei instructs with a passion and energy that inspires practitioners to explore their physical and mental limits. His commitment to the art of karate-do can be felt in every moment and interaction with him, and because of this, he inspires us to want to achieve more and work harder. For all of these reasons, we are very grateful to have been given so much material. It is now our duty to take this experience and cultivate it within ourselves and our members and to continue on the path that has been shown to us. Thank you from all of us at the NOSA Dojo, Ueda Sensei!
