A fantastic start to DKK Summer School 2015. The fields of Glennywood are a buzz with about 80 DKK students from all around the country and a few from abroad. The day started with 3 laps of the grounds then the 1st session started 'Kumite' with Sensei Gavin Mulholland. He worked on intricacies of movement, timing, positioning power and mindset.
After a 1/2 hour break it was into '4 Shades of Black'. This was a joint session with myself and Sensei Gavin- training on and understanding of the 4 goju kata up to Shodan. DKK bunkai and oyo bunkai were trained and honed. Just had lunch and we'll be heading into 'redirection'.

After lunch I taught redirection, using someone else's force against themselves before smashing them into the sodden ground! Matoyoshi tonfa ichi Kata was taught by Sempai Goran Powell after an introduction of the Okinawan weapon. Really informative on many levels. The final session was for 2nd Dans and above. For these 19 students myself and Sensei Gavin Mulholland worked on Sanchin testing. Grubs up and a few drinks in order before heading to the campfire
