Willie Thomas Course with Tony Grey
The aim of the session was to reinforce the importantance of footwork and role it plays attacking, counter-attacking and evasive manouvres. This objective was achieved through a series of programmed foot patterns combined with the techniques that are common to all karate-ka. Fundementally, your stance and movement is the one thing that keeps your 'butt' off the ground.
The emphasis was not just movement, but to produce a movement that leaves you in an advantageous postion over your opponent. Starting off with some generic lateral movement drills and gently progressed to more specific opposed drills in match play scenarios.
Everybody worked hard with all feeling hte pinch on the final two-against-one scenario.
Willie Thomas explains the 'Slip'
All in all a very enjoyable session with both participants and viewing coaching leaving with something.
Well done guys
