Sensei Alan visits York Karate Club

A great training session with Sensei Alan Campbell (Chief Instructor of England) at the weekend to celebrate our 1st anniversary. A great session on the Heian katas was followed by a detailed, gohon kumite class. Thank you to everyone who attended the training, from Selby as well as the York clubs, and thank you to sensei Alan for a great course! Osu

Team Kata

We spent some time before Christmas talking about team kata. Please see this amazing team kata from the winning Japanese team at the WKF finals in 2012. The video also has some clips of kumite at the end. (video not uploaded to youtube by me)
