If you can get to Campbell Sensei's dojo in Nottingham on Sat 26th June you will have a great day, this is an opportunity not to be missed.

Bag Packing at Tesco

There was a rather disappointing turn out despite Julie's efforts to rally the troops.

However Marcus, Amy, Ellie, Josh and Shauna between them packed loads of bags and raised a total of £192.50! These monies are ring fenced in our accounts to support the development of our karateka.

Bertel Sensei in Italy

It only seems a few months ago that Gullen Sensei was preparing IJKA Yorkshire karateka for the European Championships in this very hall where Bertel Sensei is teaching.

Hopefully we will get back to Lignano-Sabbiadorro some day?

Hopefully we will also get to train with Sensei Andre one day as well, but for now just watch the video and look forwarded.

Warning- Remember the importance of etiquette in the rei!

Bertel Sensei in Germany

While I was stuck in Cyprus Sensei Stacey from Tuam, Ireland was planning to travel to Germany to train with Sensei Andre. I don't think she made it because of the disruption to air traffic. Below is a taste of what Stacey and the rest of us missed out on.

More Asai Ryu Kata Uploaded

I have uploaded a few more kata from Latvia,

• Joko Sansei
• Joko Yonsei
• Di Ni (Dai Ni Ken)
• Di San (Dai San Ken)
• Di Yon (Dai Yon Ken)
• Kokutsu Dachi No Kata

Joko Sansei and Yonsei are as I remember Sensei Brian Toomey and Sensei Kato teaching them at Whitchurch Hombu dojo.

However I have a totally different recollection of the Di kata. I remember Kato Sensei teaching them nearly 10 years ago, but I am not sure if they evolved many times, like most of the Asai kata. I discussed the Dai kata with Sensei Stacey from Tuam when I was over there and I believe that IJKA Ireland follow the kata similar to those practiced in Latvia, but I would be interested in your comments.

Kato Sensei also taught Kokutsu Dachi No Kata a few years ago. I was working on my back stance at the time and I was also exploring some of the Dan grade kata like Kanku Sho. This Kata greatly assisted a small level of improvement in my back stance and helped with transition of weight while moving.

If you follow the link to my kata page and double click on the kata name, it will take you to the video of the kata selected.

SSKC welcomes Sensei Paul Hyland

Above : Sensei Paul Hyland

Sensei Paul Hyland SKIF Ireland visited the Hambleton Dojo of the SSKC tonight. Paul trains at St.Vincent's and St .Joseph's in Dublin, Ireland and is a Sempai of Sensei Jacqui O'Shea 5th Dan.

I do not know Paul's senior instructor, but Rebecca and I have met and trained with Sensei Jacqui in Italy and Ireland. Rebecca has competed against (and beaten by) Sensei Jacqui in Ireland, not surprising really, she is a world champion!

Like Sensei Paul, if you are working away from home and want somewhere to train you will recieve a warm welcome from all of us at SSKC, Osu!

Yesterdays Competition

I hope everyone had a great time at the competition Yesterday.

Firstly apologies to Sensei Andy for forgetting to mention "Denby Security Services" as a sponsor of the event. The previous results post has also been updated and please click in the sidebar on SSKC Cups and you will see details of each of the cups, their sponsors and the winners.

Well how did Selby get on?

Very well done to our beginners from the Hambleton dojo, Marcus, Michael, Jamie and Harry, I hope you didn't find the kata too daunting and you did well in the knee boxing , perhaps a medal next year?

Leila managed 4th place in the Under 12 kata, just missing out on a medal. Abby had a very tough draw getting drawn against Elanor the eventual winner in the first round.

In the Under 17 Kata Josh Robinson was the lowest grade at 9th Kyu and was competing within a fairly large group, including 5 brown belts. He lost in the semi finals to Holly the eventual winner and lost against Nick last years winner for 3rd place, ending with a very respectful 4th place.

In the Over 16 Kata up to 3rd Kyu David beat Holly in the semi and lost against Max for an eventual 2nd place an excellent result, Kelvin was pipped by Holly for 3rd place and came 4th.

In the Over 16 high grade Kata Michael put in some very strong performances and ended up 2nd with Rebecca coming 3rd.

In the Family kata the Dallisons got 4th place to a clean sweep by the Bamfords. Next year we need to enter more teams to increase our chances.

In the U12 Kumite Nathan was unlucky to get drawn against Lucas the eventual winner in the first round, Liam fought well through to the final and ended up with 2nd place.

In the U17 Kumite Josh Robinson went one better than kata and won a 3rd place medal.

In the low grade Over 16 kumite David was knocked out by Max and in the play off for 3rd place was knocked out by Simon from York to end up 4th. Kelvin met Max in the final and fought well ending a very close 2nd.

In the Over 16 Female kumite Julie came 1st and Claire 2nd, well done ladies!

In the O16 high grade kumite Michael was pipped into 2nd place by Max.

I have updated all your member pages with your achievements, these can be viewed by clicking on members in the side bar and clicking on your name.

Our congratulations goes to Max from York who I think won everything he entered even the events above his grade!
