URBAN DEFENSIVE SYSTEM
EVENTS
RED NOSE EVENTS
Our red nose events were held on Wednesday 11 March 2009 at West Leeds Dojo and Friday 13 March 2009 at East Leeds Dojo where many of our Karateka and Kickboxing students dressed up in pyjamas, a wig, a hat or all three. It was very difficult to take the training seriously - performing kata while dressed ready for bed doesn’t have the same impact!
Again though, this showed the level of support and commitment from Kaizen students for supporting worthwhile causes or just getting into the swing of things.

Over the weekend 28/29 March 2009 Sensei Reece travelled to Kysohi O’Connor’s dojo in London to train as an Instructor in the Urban Defensive System Instructor.
The course was superb yet very intensive focusing on a range of unpleasant yet necessary self defensive techniques. Kyoshi’s relaxed style of teaching encouraged everyone to grasp the essentials of this system and practise under effective supervision.
Following the first day, a group enjoyed an Indian meal at a local restaurant.
On the second day Sensei also took the opportunity to expand his Kobudo training particularly in the use of the nunte bo.

FLAMINGOLAND 2010
It started off with 10 people going then whittled its way down to 7 then whittled its way down to 5 and eventually down to 3. In spite of this the 3 who went thoroughly enjoyed the day at Flamingo land taking in the thrills of the theme park combined with the sedentary nature of the zoo.
It’s fair to say however that of the 3 only 2 were brave enough to try almost every ride even when one of the rides had previously broken down with people trapped at the top. Katie Sigston and Kye Forrester didn’t let that stop them though!! It certainly stopped me.
The day was not overshadowed by poor weather and Katie managed to win a stuffed orca which unfortunately appeared to suffer from a hernia!
The video shows a couple of the rides enjoyed by Katie and Kye. Apologies for the poor quality - mobile phones are definitely not the best for capturing movies.
