Dean & Mattfs Excellent Adventure – Summer 2010

Osu!

This year, after summer camp, Sensei Dean & Sempai Matt took a road trip to the Kootenay region of British Columbia. Their aim was training, Kyokushin Training. More specifically goshin jitsu, ippon kumite kata & advanced kata.

They arrived Tuesday afternoon and were the guest of Don Corrigal, senior instructor for the Rocky Mountain Kyokushin Karate Dojo in Cranbrook. Trainings consisted of 2 a days, kata in the morning in a local park and goshin jitsu/ippon kumite in the evening hosted by John Darula of the Rocky Mountain Club.

These evening sessions were followed by some kyokushin hospitality and socializing for the 2 guests to the East Kootenay. Between training Sensei Dean & Sempai Matt helped their host lay a new front walk way to his home.

Unfortunately weather; major thunder/lighting/rain storms put a damper on the outdoor training and the 2 intrepid travelers, and the decision was made to head back to Vancouver a day early. However, Sensei & Sempai went home feeling some the worst for wear, but happy for the week of training. The Rocky Mountain Dojo members that participated in the training as cannon fodder were equally thankful; for the opportunity to train with these instructors over the week.

Thanks to Sensei Dean & Sempai Matt for their spirit and hard work over the week.

Osu!
