5/7/2013

Okinawa Day is held once a year in Spitalfields Market, London, a short walk from Liverpool Street station. The purpose of the event is to promote Okinawan culture in the UK and comprises a full programme of traditional music, eisa dancing and karate performances. Alongside the stage area an array of Japanese food can be purchased, including bowls of steaming Okinawan noodle soup.

The OTGKA have been invited to give a demonstration of Goju Ryu karate for 4 years and this year Sensei George Andrews, our chief instructor, invited Cambridge Goju Ryu to take part. The demonstration began with 3 of Sensei George's junior students, which was very well received by all. This was followed by a small group of senior black belts.

Alongside members of the London and Harlow clubs, Sensei Martin took part in a demonstration of "a typical class". This began with aspects of Junbi Undo, the traditional warm up exercises; moving basics; hojo undo; kata and kakie self defence drills.

Excerpts of the demonstration can be seen on youtube.
