Musashi Karate in Largs

A huge thank you to everyone that turned up to the SportScotland National Sports Training Centre in Largs on Saturday for my 3 hour session on applied Karate looking at the different ranges and principles of combat through the eyes of Ananko Kata. Part of Kenneth Davis's 30 year Gasshaku for Zanshin Kai.

We covered...

Ma-Ai, controlling distance (& verbal de-escalation).

Atemi-waza, striking drills.

Kansetsu-waza & Tuidi, joint manipulation, destruction, grabbing, seizing etc.

Shime-waza, choking and strangling.(the detail).

Tegumi- grappling.

Kyusho-Jutsu, vital(pressure) points and how they add value to techniques.

Kuzushi-waza, Breaking balance drills.

Nage-waza, Throwing or taking down techniques.

Ne-waza, Ground escapes and causing damage on the ground.

Plus a few more bits and pieces and of course a bit of humour. Big thanks to Bobby McCrindle and James Concannon for supporting as always and being the crash test dummies.

Great to catch up with everyone again and to meet some new people.
