Thank you all for your kind remarks, i thought after all these years i would come out of the closet lol
the Kyu shin kan is riding on a cloud last month we demonstrated at the Japan festival and we have finished 2004 with the release of our new DVD called Tai sabaki( just entered the charts with a bullet) see i am picking up on this new terminology

Very lovely counters. Thanks Dimetrio for showing me the link. So much to learn, so little time. Sigh.

After seeing that clip....welcome aboard Pete!.

I'll enjoy using those to finish a class or two in the new year.

Anybody got any more of these examples of counters? If so maybe a new thread would be good to avoid hijacking Petes intro.

Cheers

Thank you all for taking the time to look at the clips, i have tried to show the positive side of our art, it is only soft when we want it to be, I have been training for many years i believe i have traveled full circle, you know the excited feeling you get when you are a beginner i still have that feeling!!

Pete.

... clips....

There's more?

[David Warden]

Hi there,
enjoyed the clips and the music is hypnotic.
Watching the clip reminds me of the shocked I recieved as a novice when the technique which I thought I had 'perfected' suddenly didn't work when I was shown an easier counter during a seminar - ah well, I'll just have to keep training.
