Karate
Last chance this year to train with my Sensei, Tony Christian. More a lecture and points on progressing in the martial arts than a training session. This was at Garswood Goju Ryu. Central point, Budo, the importance of the mind and philosophy. Illustrated by the contrast in his two most influencial teachers, Spires and Chinen.
Afterwards , everyone went off for a buffet supper at The Simms.
Me....... off to work... 😒!

Goju Ryu Karate-Do
Tetsuhiro Hokama Sensei, he has appeared on a promotional video for the Ryukyu Bank. Not much Karate or info, a quick look at Hokama's Karate museum and clips from his kids class.
But : You can see our Academies badge that I presented him with when I visited in 2015. It's pinned with many more to a board in his Dojo.
