Karate England squad training...Loughborough with guest instructor Christophe Pinna 25th October 2009
Some of the students made the short journey to Loughborough to train with the Karate England squad and guest instructor Christophe Pinna . A fabulous training session was had by all with sensei Pinna teaching us about how acurate footwork can win or loose a fight. Everyone was extremely tired after over 3 hours of hard training but everyone in the room took something away from the session !!! Sensei Helen Kelly commented on firstly the value for money the training was ..... cost was £10 !!!! and secondly that it was one of the best seminars she had ever been on !!! her thoughts were echoed throughout the group. Many thanks to Abdu Shar and Ian Cuthbert for organising the training session..... there were over 80 students present, with students travelling from as far afield as Newcastle and Bournmouth.
