On way to Airport at Naha, stopped in at Asato dojo to get bags
Found out there was a seminar by Patrick McCarthy, unpacked gi and did the seminar
Met Patrick and got a book signed, great seminar thanks for letting me join in 👊
Managed to get a private session with Hokama Sensei whilst in Okinawa
Got thanked as taught him the term “Body Mechanics” which he’d never heard of but he loved it and will help him explain in future teaching
It was an amazing experience, hoping to catch up with him next time
An amazing week in Okinawa, trained at ASATO dojo with kancho James, did a few classes and a few 1 on 1 sessions
Thank you James Sensei for the great week, will definitely be back
New gi's arrive from Japan, thanks @tokyodo_karate
Sensei only wears their gi's
The SP1000 is his choice BUT after trying the AT-3 WKF approved, has one for teaching/training and now one for his tournament gi 😊🥋
Sensei went to Japan with Caleb, they got to train with the guys at Kenshikai Tokyo.
Met up with student Anna whom was in Tokyo with her parents, they all had a great night's training
