seminars

[PlasmaShock]

my dojo had a self defence seminar with an excellent sensei. i forget his name but he was good. i love seminars. in one, we learned a kata from a different style. it was interesting to learn. i think it was called seisan. i forget what style of karate it was but it seemed like a close range style.

Seisan is a kata from Shorin-Ryu Karate. This kata is also taught as the first kata in Isshin-Ryu Karate, which partly comes from Shorin-Ryu and Goju-Ryu.

Correct.

We sometimes have seminars. Most of the time, it's an arnis seminar of some sort. On occasion, we have a seminar like what you described, about learning kata from different styles. Ironically, we usually do at least a bit of the things we learned at the seminar in class, sort of defeating the point of having a seminar in the first place.

I love seminars. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to go to one for a long time.

Seminars are a great way to learn things you would not ordinarily learn. They can become a little expensive if you do too many of them.

We have quite a few training seminars throughout the year for out students. Usually focused on either 1 or 2 katas or on kumite, we also do self defence seminars in plain clothes which is a lot of fun.

And on ocassion we get instructors from other organisations to teach a seminar for us as it always helps to have another insight as to how to do things.

seminars rule. i have only been able to go to 1 so far but i hope to go to a lot more.

One of the best places to find seminars is in your local martial arts magazine. Blitz is published over there isn't it? Usually there's a calendar with all the events on. That's a good place to start and then getting onto people's mailing lists after attending their seminars.

Can you just attend any seminar? Or do you have to go to one's arranged by your club? We have black and brown belt courses within the club, are they similar to that?
