On March 3rd 2012 the
Keremeos Kyokushin club had
the priviledge of hosting a
seminar lead by Sensei Larry
Robson and guests Sempai
Kathy Desrochers and Sempai
Ryan Desrochers.
Members from the Penticton
club attended the seminar.
Sensei Larry started the
seminar by having us all do
katas starting with the
first taikyoku and worked
his way up through the
pinans. We would perform
the kata to a ten count and
then we would receive a few
critiques.
After we were "tweeked" we
would perform the kata
again, doing our best to
incorporate the new changes.
Then after each kata we
would be given a bunkai
interpretation. Sensai
Larry was clear about
pointing out that there can
be many interpretations.
The seminar ended with the
first eight happo moves
which were changed just
slightly to incorporate self
defence. After the students
finished twisting and
contorting each other for
the last hour, it was time
to bow out. To conclude it
was three hours of jam
packed knowledge.
