A warm welcome to some new members that have joined the group recently. Today I chat about my thoughts on the practice of kakie training in goju ryu and its value for self defence

Hey all just fyi the in the last couple of weeks I have uploaded a bunch of new content into the courses including technique workshop, kata breakdown, kata Bunkai, kumite basics and the beginners journey. Get in to the courses and have a look around. Just watching the content will help you even if you’re not training it at home (that’s a better option though). Enjoy the journey.

A great quote I recently heard I thought I would share with the group. “Sacrifice for your goals or your goals become your sacrifice” The quote says it all. Go get your goals

Good morning all. I wanted to let you all know that the full technical breakdown of Seiyunchin kata has finished being filmed and edited and is now in the classroom. If you look at the screenshot below to find exactly how to get there. Each section is broken down into bite sized pieces for ease of learning. I would love your feedback positive or negative doesn't matter. If there is a way for me to make it better for all then I will do that. I haven't used my new gimbal yet so things will get better anyway :) I would love for you guys to use this platform to help you learn the patterns of kata and some of the intricate details to make training in class easier and more productive. If you already know the pattern then that helps us focus on other things in class and expediates growth. Anyway enjoy the videos and check out all the other stuff as well. I am uploading all the time so things you may have seen earlier probably have more content in them by now. As an example I added a screen shot of the kumite basics course. Have a great Friday and weekend and train hard S. Sam

A short one this week in regards to the grading last weekend. Also the footage of the grading has now been edited into a full training class available in the beginners journey course.
