You Tube Fame for Sensei Helen

Last week Sensei Helen was more than a little "dis-chuffed" when I informed her that the only way I knew of getting the couple of videos we took in Hungary on the blog was to upload them to you tube and then embed them.

I reassured her that although they were on you tube, the chances of anyone actually watching them was quite slim.

Well Helen it seems I was wrong ...again.

The videos have been posted for a week and already there have been about 250 views, 85 people watching Helen's Heian Sandan, which I still say she was unlucky to loose.

Anyway Helen look forward to some fan mail rolling in from all round the world.

Helen's Video from Budapest

Sensei Helen - Female Kata Competition IJKA European Championships Budapest Hungary July 2007






Helen did well, the Russian Chief Instructor was the main judge and gave Sensei Helen the decision sadly the four other corner judges saw it differently.

Helen found the training course and the championships a big motivator and is training harder than ever now.

Rebecca's Videos from Hungary

Rebecca competed for the first time in the European Championships in Budapest Hungary in July 2007.

Rebecca was not happy with her kata, as always you can always do better in your own dojo in familiar surroundings.

Rebecca was a little daunted by European kumite, good experience for the future and a chance to make new friends.

IJKA European Championships Budapest July 14-15

Hi,
Is anyone reading my blog planning to go to Hungary in July?
Bulletin No 2 has been posted on the IJKA Hungary Website, the link is below:
http://www.geocities/ijkahungary/IJKAEB2007_Bul2.htm?200711
Registration forms are required to be sent back by the 31st March 2007, so there is not much time left to sort yourself out if you plan to go.
Helen, Rebecca and myself plan to go to both the course and the championships, we are going from Manchester on Wed 11th and returning on Tuesday 17th.
It would be nice to get an idea on who else will be there, please drop me an e mail.
Osu!
