On Sunday 20th May a group of black and brown belt graded students gathered together at Impington Sports Centre for a few hours of training with Sensei George Andrews, 8th dan. With more than 50 years of karate training under his belt, Sensei George is one of the very highest ranked students of the IOGKF Supreme Master Higaonna Morio Sensei.
Following the traditional Junbi Undo warm up Sensei focused on kata and bunkai, starting with a detailed look at Saifa kata. Sensei George then spent some time with senior students on the higher kata, while Sensei Dick and Sensei Dave worked on Shisochin with brown belt students. The time flew past, but we came back together for the last half hour for San Dan Gi practice and a just enough time to practice Sanchin and Tensho kata.
As it was glorious weather outside we refreshed ourselves after training at the nearby Red Lion pub in Histon. Thanks to everyone that was able to come and support the event and many thanks to Sensei George for spending his Sunday with us. For those students that were not able to make it, we'll organise something else for later in the year, and of course everyone is very welcome to join us on our annual trip to Brussels in November to train with Masuyama Sensei and Kuramoto Sensei.
