3 weeks to late John. I was visiting from Australia and spent 2 weeks with family in Ripon. Had I known, I would have dropped into the Dojo.

Brilliant video. , Freestyle. Is exactly that . Free of style . It's what works for you , the principle of basics, of any style , will always save you , if taught correctly , of course , and explained . The feeling of the technique . , timing , anticipation , reaction , execution . Yes we have all different frames, all different advantages and limitations , this is where kata training, and application is so important to feel the techniques . Then also training with multiple opponents . Surrounding you on all sides front and back camping at you , in all different scenarios , two lines coming at you , whilst your in corner , or Infront and side by side if your back is against a wall. , to use the wall to deflect , send opponents into or to bounce off the wall using your back and frame to counter attacks , I used to love , instinctive training in centre of circle , attacks coming from anywhere , above , behind sides and frontal . Good for awareness training especially in dangerous street situations , you are in control not the mob , aro,und you . Use your surroundings, increase your skill set , it's not all about competition , but karate do is living it . Glad to see brilliant set up , for everyone , learning never stops . No, matter what style , what form , use all your senses and more , yet to discover . Brilliant video . Encompasses many situations many doctrines disciplines .
