Re: Seminar with Ushiro Sensei (Ushiro Karatedo) 10-24 & 10-25

one more thing....

On another thread we are discussing that seminars should be more than just watching a three ringed circus of cool stuff.

I think what was really great about this seminar is the fact that you left there with some good "take aways". If you can't at least do sanchin kata decently, then something is wrong.

Ushiro Sensei did a wonderful job explaining the kata and emphasizing how and why you do it the way you do it. For folks looking for things to incorporate into their own practice that will improve their ability to learn aiki...there was alot presented by Ushiro Sensei with structure that will allow you to train solo in a standardized way that can be replicated over and over again until you meet up with a group again in the future for improvement.

When you go to seminars, this is what is important once you leave...being able to replicate the conditions without constant guidance.
