Kata Applications Seminar - June 12, 2010

Saturday June 12, 2010 Cocoa Beach Shorin-Ryu Karate hosted a kata applications seminar conducted by Sensei Peter Van Westering, director of the Rising Sun Dojo, in Longwood Fl. Sensei brought several of his black belt students and Sensei Phil Collins, director of the Indian River Dojo and his black belt student Kris Denny were also in attendance.

Cocoa Beach students attending included: black belts: Sensei Des Chaskelson, Sensei Tom DuJardin, & Sempai Joe Motor; kyu ranks: Michael Motro, Jean Chipman, Gannon Avery, Jamie Dettmer & John McCarthy..

The seminar covered applications form F-2 as well as all of the Pinan Katas and black belt kata Passai. .The seminar was videotaped and we are hoping to get a copy of the DVD so we can practice some of the techniques and drills. In addition, there were also demos of nunchaku kata and the special kata for the Oar weapon.

Arigato to Sensei Van Westering and all who attended and shared karate spirit and knowledge!
