Saturday 20th September was Festival Day of the week long Cherry Hinton Festival and alongside the many attractions was set out a large community performance stage. The afternoon was to be filled with an interesting mix of dance groups and martial arts clubs and Cambridge Goju Ryu was to put on its first public demonstration. The performances were opened with a Chinese Lion Dance from the Cambridge Chinese Community Centre. It was a cloudy day and half way through the afternoon, during a Tang Soo Do display, it really poured down. Fortunately for us, the rain passed in time for our demonstration.
While Sensei Louise and 5 of our fantastic students ran through aspects of Junbi Undo warm up, San Dan Gi, Gekisai Dai Ichi kata, bunkai, chishi and padwork, I explained to the audience what was being performed. To give our students a brief rest, Sensei Louise and I performed Sepai kata together. We then demonstrated kakie exercises as group, followed by Sanchin kata and finally Tensho kata. It's amazing what you can pack into 30 minutes!
The afternoon was rounded off by the Chinese Community Centre with traditional dance, Tai Chi and Wing Chun demonstrations. Many thanks to our students for their support and to the organisers of Cherry Hinton Festival.
