Kumite and Kata Master Classes

On Saturday 8th November ’08 Links Karate Kai had the pleasure of hosting this our first master class with Sensei Enzo Quirino 3rd Dan, Chief Instructor of the England Karate Kan association. The course was attended by approximately 80 students representing their clubs from Links Karate Kai, Blackwell Academy Ipswich, England Karate Kan London and Black Belt Academy Norwich.

The 2 hour course which was run at Clacton Leisure Centre was by invitation only. The first hour covered fitness drills, plyometrics and speed training as this is integral to development of all Karate competitors.

The students then split into two sections, Sensei Paul Harris of LKK took one section and worked on Kumite strategies, which included advanced kicking drills and defence strategies.

Sensei Enzo of EKK took the Kata section and as one of the best Kata coaches in England took them through Kion drills and passed on some of his vast knowledge on the technical side of competition Kata.

Well done to all that attended, the feed back was very pleasing, watch for our next master class.
