TERRY WINGROVE 2008

On Sunday 9 March 2008, Kaizen MAA once again hosted a seminar with Sensei Terry Wingrove, 9th Dan.  The event was organised by  our good friend Sensei Mike Flanagan of Headingley Karate.  The event, proved that once again, many martial artists are seeking to expand their knowledge of a range of martial arts techniques and happily endured 4 or 5 hours of, at times, intense discomfort when techniques were applied.  For those of us watching the techniques being applied they weren't painful at all!!!  Fortunately (or unfortunately) Sensei didn't miss too many people out when demonstrating his techniques.

We are fortunate in having 2 rooms at the dojo.  Initially that offered Peter Clarke's students the opportunity to receive additional Jiu Jitsu instruction from one of Sensei Wingrove's Instructors while in the afternoon the session was split into two groups - Juniors (those who had never attended one of Sensei Wingrove's sessions) and Seniors (those who had).

The event was superb.  The participants worked very closely with that level of support ad professionalism that ensured no-one was deliberately intent of proving themselves better than anyone else.  Sensei Wingrove took time to explain the techniques and his team ensured that we understood and applied the techniques as effectively as we could.

Regrettably the end of the event came too soon.
