Wed, Apr 9 2008 - Beginner Karate (View Original Event Details)
|  |
Thank you everyone for coming out to our beginner karate lesson. Great to see so many new faces!
We were able to watch part of Sensei Gil’s white and yellow belt class train, then we joined his yellow belt class to begin our training.
We started with a warm up and stretching, then onto some basic punches, kicks and blocks. We were later joined by the higher belt class, purple and black, where they helped us with sparring.
Sensei Gil then taught us some self defence moves to use when someone grabs you, very informative and fun!
We were able then to watch several kata’s which are a series of pre-arranged movements where they must start on one spot and after completing their moves, end up on that same spot. Very interesting.
Thank you very much to the Rivercity Karate Dojo, Sensei Gil and the students who helped us. EOC members may join the Rivercity Karate Dojo until May 2008 for the discounted rate of $40.00/month, or $5.00 per session. Sessions are Monday and Wednesday 5:30 to 6:30 at the Weinlos Elementary School 2911 48th Street.
Domo arigato Sensei Gil!
