The Kenshin Kazoku Kai held a very special autumn training session with the arrival of Japanese instructor Sensei Keiji Tomiyama 7th Dan. The course was split into two sessions, one for juniors and one for adults, with Kata taken from the Higaonna Group.
The junior class was approximately an hour in duration with the students being taught Gekisai Ni complete with a bunkai (application) demonstration. Although a very high grade kata the junior members enjoyed it very much.
The senior class consisted of two Kata, Tensho and Seisan. Tensho contains a series of movement which can represent amongst other things wrist locks and groin strikes. The main kata of the day was Seisan. Sensei Tomiyama provided a valuable insight into the stances used and effective use of the bunkai ably assisted by the clubs senior instructor Tony Bergin. The three hours were soon over with all students gaining some excellent tuition.
Kenshin Kazoku Kai would like to thank all who attended and helped make the course a success including, Beccles & Yarmouth Shokukai, Norfolk Wado Kai and members from as far away as Southport & Wolverhampton.
